Mary Sánchez

María Dolores Sánchez Ramírez, known professionally as Mary Sánchez, was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on 4 August 1934. CanariWiki presents her as a singer specialising in Canarian folklore and documents her childhood in the port district of El Refugio and Las Canteras beach.

Néstor Álamo discovered her in the 1950s and became her artistic mentor. The institutional profile places her presentation at the Teatro Pérez Galdós in 1953 and her later work with Los Bandama alongside timple player Maso Moreno, with American tours and recognitions linked to the dissemination of Canarian repertoire.

After retiring from the stage in 2015, her figure remains associated with Gran Canaria musical memory, Las Canteras, Teror and the popular repertoire she projected within and beyond the archipelago.
