María Dolores Amaya Vega, better known by her stage name Remedios Amaya, is a Spanish flamenco singer. She released her first album in 1978.
She was selected internally by TVE to represent Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest 1983 in Munich with the song ¿Quién maneja mi barca?, finishing in joint last place with the ever-dreaded Nul Points. However, it remains a much-requested song during her concerts and tours to this day.
Remedios released several other albums in the years following her appearance, including a greatest hits compilation in 2004.
