María Zahara Gordillo Campos (born 10 September 1983), better known simply as Zahara, is a Spanish singer-songwriter.
Zahara wrote her first song when she was fifteen years old, "Una Palabra" (One Word).[1] Zahara attended the Colegio Público Sebastián de Córdoba, and she studied her music at the Conservatorio de Música in Ubeda.[1] She spent half a semester at the Instituto Francisco.[1] For her tertiary education, she studied in, and graduated from, the Magisterio Musical between Almería and Granada.
In March, Zahara released a single "Oh, salvaje" (English: O, Savage), which would appear on her fourth studio album, Santa (2015). It was written and produced by Zahara and Sergio Sastre. The single has received national acclaim from music critics who encouraged its sound as a great pop ballad which is fresh and different to what the singer usually composes.[2]
