Conchita Bautista

At the same time she was earning a reputation as an interpreter of Andalusian music and gained a recording contract with the Columbia label. On 13–14 February 1961, Bautista took part in the Spain for the Eurovision Song Contest 1961 with the song "Estando contigo", which was chosen as the Spanish debut entry in the contest. On 18 March, she performed "Estando contigo" as the opening song in Cannes, France, and at the end of voting she placed ninth of the 16 entries. On 7 February 1965, Bautista came through a very convoluted Spain to win the Spanish ticket for a second time for the Eurovision Song Contest 1965 with "Qué bueno, qué bueno". On 20 March, in Naples, "Qué bueno, qué bueno" was one of four songs (along with those from Germany, Belgium, and Finland) which failed to score, representing Spain's second nul points following Víctor Balaguer in Spain. In later years, Bautista forged a successful recording and touring career in Latin America, Italy, Greece, and Turkey as well as in Spain.
