I like Amalia Mendoza (La Tariacuri) from Mexico. Are you familiar with her at all? Lady sings with so much heart.

It must be evening. My Sonos stream is starting to cut out a bit. The web stream always gets tired in the evening (I blame Tune-In).

Thank you for another great show djsheilab!

Many thanks for a great show Sheila B. and for introducing me to Mercedes Sosa, especially "Vidala De La Soledad" (and thank you to your friend for translating it.)
It was so moving to hear the crowd in "Sólo Le Pido a Dios" and to read the lyrics along. By now, we're all so exhausted, but we also ask <Que el dolor no me sea indiferente .
