Listen to the full WTMJ Conversations with Marija Temo and WTMJ's Melissa Barclay.
Marija Temo calls Milwaukee home.
She is one of the world's best flamenco artists, one of the few women who are virtuoso guitarists in a male-dominated field.
And one of the few artists of either gender who can sing, play and dance this art form of hundreds of years.
This woman of Midwestern roots also has a childhood experience of bullying, one that many of us can empathize with. Her response became a life of giving her musical gift. Marija also broke through many centuries-old walls of gender in the flamenco world.
Melissa Barclay goes 1-on-1 with Marija, this world-renowned artist and the guitar chair of the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, in our WTMJ Conversations, Sunday, October 6 at 11 a.m. on WTMJ, with much more of her story to come as well on WTMJ.com.
Watch her perform “Waves,” an original work, below.
