Women of Latin America

If I could sing like any of the women on this collection, I’d be so happy I’d pee. Gorgeous voices abound from both established stars (Toto La Momposina) and lesser-known artists (Marta Gomez). Wonderful music, one star for every track so you can’t go wrong. Read the notes, & play it all. It’s ice cream delicious.
