She continued her career under her own name.[5] She has been considered the raising star of the year 2013 by the French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur[6] and the French magazine Les Inrockuptibles selected her album Invocación in the top ten 2015 South America albums.[7]

Style
Cañizares's style reflects her various influences with shades of jazz, classical music and cuban music, with a lot of space left for improvisation.[3][4][10] The French magazine Les Inrockuptibles describes her style as a jazz instrumentation mixed with Yoruba ritual percussion.[7] She sings in Spanish, Yoruba and French. One of her hallmarks is simultaneously playing violin and singing.[1][11][12]
