María Concepción "Conchita" Bautista Fernández (born 27 October 1936, Seville) is a Spanish singer and actress, best known for her participation in the Eurovision Song Contests of 1961 and 1965.
Bautista moved from her native Andalusia to Madrid in her teens and quickly established herself as an actress, appearing in a number of films in the 1950s. At the same time she was earning a reputation as an interpreter of Andalusian music and gained a recording contract with the Columbia label.
In 1961, Bautista took part in the selection for Spain's debut Eurovision entry with the song "Estando contigo" ("Being With You"), which was chosen as the country's representative for the sixth Eurovision Song Contest, held in Cannes, France on 18 March. "Estando contigo" was drawn as the contest's opening song, and at the end of voting had placed ninth of the 16 entries.
In 1965, Bautista came through a very convoluted selection process to win the Spanish Eurovision ticket a second time with "Qué bueno, qué bueno" ("How Good, How Good"), and went forward to that year's Eurovision which took place 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 Victor Balaguer in 1962.
In later years, Bautista forged a successful recording and touring career in Latin America, Italy, Greece, and Turkey as well as in Spain. Biography
En 1953 Conchita Bautista interprète le rôle de Pepa, dans La Belle de Cadix de Raymond Bernard, film tiré de l'opérette du même nom.
En 1961, pour la première participation de l'Espagne à l'Eurovision, Conchita Bautista est choisie pour défendre les couleurs de son pays au Concours Eurovision de la chanson à Cannes, avec le titre Estando contigo écrit par Augusto Algueró et composé par Antonio Guijarro. Avec 8 points, elle est arrivée en 9e place.
Elle représentera de nouveau l'Espagne, en 1965 à Naples, au même festival avec la chanson Qué bueno, qué bueno. Elle finira en dernière position avec aucun point, ex-aequo avec l'Allemagne, la Belgique et la Finlande.
En 1969, elle participe à la Coupe d'Europe du tour de chant à Knokke (Belgique).
Dans la deuxième moitié des années 1950, elle tourne dans divers films réalisés en Espagne et est considérée comme l'une des meilleures actrices espagnoles de cette époque.
