Spain in My Heart: Sor

Volunteers for the cause came from all over the world, as do the artists on this collection. From Ireland, the US, Mexico, Nicaragua, Spain. Acoustic-based, in both English & Spanish, songs about bravery, longing for home, pain & loss. It’s a powerful collection, heavy on the tragedy and very emotional. Great notes too. Play it all.
