== Biography == Born in Granada, Spain, in 1970, Amparo Sánchez joined her first band, the Correcaminos (Roadrunners) at 16, a year after apparently becoming a mother for the first time. With Billie Holiday as her chief inspiration, Sánchez quickly established herself as the foremost vocalist in the region with a repertoire spanning such genres as blues, soul, rock, and jazz. She formed Amparo & the Gang in the early '90s. The group released Haces Bien on Fabrica Magnetica in 1993, only to see the label fold two months later. Amparo & the Gang broke up and, despite many work opportunities around Granada, Sánchez moved to Madrid.
