Hears the guitar tattooed in his soul.The touch, the sound of their ropes and beat of your box are recorded on fire in each of the parts of your body, being your heart that throbs love for the instrument.Think, feel and expressed with the guitar because as she says "the guitar is another extension of my body".
Born in Lorca, but from Jerez ancestry, she is the granddaughter of Luis Sanguiao Palma, Master Palmita, who was born in Cádiz but at age eight she left Jerez to begin her guitar studies with Javier Molina."My grandfather began to learn with Javier Molina, a school from which I also proceeded.My father and grandmother were from Jerez, they always went to the horse fair and to Holy Week to the city ”.
It has been precisely at the horse fair in which he has had more personal anecdotes with the guitar."When I have been the Fair for several years, they made me take the DNI because they did not believe that I was Lorca.They always told me that I played with Jerez's style and I had to show them my ID, "he says with a laugh.
Since he has reason he lives for music, especially for the guitar."Flamenco in my house has always been a more language.It's like eating, it goes very naturally.In any conversation the name of a singer came to light, the compass sounded ... as a child he has accompanied me in my life ".
Closely linked to his grandfather Palmita, he has always been his main courage and support in being the first person who discovered the secrets of the guitar."It is an instrument that always sounded in my house.I liked music since childhood, I started singing before learning to speak.I looked at any corner of the home and there was a guitar.My brother, smaller than me, began to learn with my grandfather and one day he noticed that I also knew how to play, so I began to learn with him ”.
Her talent, devotion to music and style, have made her a reference currently for guitarist women, a situation that at first overwhelmed her at the suspicious looks of those who have not seen a woman touch."I always say that the movement is demonstrated by walking.When you have some experience, with which the level is demonstrated, there are less difficulties.Social networks, for example, have opened a world.In my beginnings the barriers that guitarist women had, but everything was compensated with the spirits that came from outside.Fortunately, we are more and more guitarist women but there is still a certain suspicion with seeing a woman play the guitar ".
We are in 2022, but when she began to be interested in the guitar, it was hard for her to find women guitarists to look at."It fills me with satisfaction to get into social networks and see the youth that has been playing the guitar.When I started, I had no accessible reference as there is now.I have been investigating throughout my life and I have found some references of women who played the guitar in their homes.When I learned to play with my grandfather, he told me that guitarist women are not there, because if they got married they played at home, not at a professional level ”.

For Mercedes Luján, the perfect communication exists when it displays the fingers on the strings of the instrument."It is the tool that helps me achieve things, to express myself.I don't know how to communicate in another way because it's another piece of my body.For example, when I want to disconnect, I can't be more than two days without touching it.One day I can endure, but the second day that passes I need it in my hands ".
'Now or never' is the first single of the Lorcan who has been recorded with Makarines.A musical work in which his heart opens to the fullest and that will soon accompany another topic, finally opening the doors of his first album."I hope to get the album soon, there is a single and another will soon come out.When people listen to it, you can hear Mercedes Luján in its purest form.It is a music that can be identified with everything that is happening today.A music with root and flag because flamenco is my emblem ".
The guitarist likes to go step by step, because as the saying says 'dress me slowly what I'm in a hurry'."When I play, I take the purest roots.You can't start the house on the roof.From the false that my grandfather taught me, everything I have learned I put into practice when I play.With ‘now or never’ I show the need I have had to express myself.I composed it during the pandemic and I could do nothing but express what I felt ”.
As for his references, Paco de Lucía will always be "the great idol of every guitarist for the legacy he has left us," he says.But he also comments that "coming from the school of Javier Molina, Moraíto is another of my referents.The Morao School also comes from Javier Molina's and the touch of them is a very big reference for me ”.
The guitarist acknowledges that it is "very jarible with the guitar".Not only because it is his work but for the passion he always puts on it."I like to take refuge with my family and friends, but there is a part of the brain that is constantly connected with the guitar.".
Finally, Jerez is a city that would love to play again, especially at the Jerez Festival."I do not currently have any date confirmed by Jerez, hopefully the Hague.I really want to return to the Jerez Festival, an event in which I was in 2009 in a cycle of guitarist women at the Villavicencio Palace.I hope you can enjoy music again ".
