The lovely women of Latin America profiled in WOMEN OF LATIN AMERICA were chosen for their vocal prowess, their diverse styles, and their ability to appeal across cultures to a wide audience outside of as well as within Latin America.
Take Maria Gomez, for example: 'La Randa' from Columbia opens this collection with her most accessible, rousing song original.
Maria's soaring voice captures the Columbian style and feel.
Jacqueline Fuentes heralds from Chile: she too relies on adept soaring vocalizations to bring life to her song 'Sinuoso Tropico'.
A bossa nova beat permeates Brazilian singer Adriana Calcanhotto in 'Just Agora': enthusiasts of Brazil traditions and Latin jazz alike have much to enjoy here.
Monica Salmaso's also from Brazil, but 'Dancepe' is entirely different, presenting one of her most familiar songs and blending in Afro-Brazilian words and light jazz rhythms.
From Susana Baca to Lila Downs and Lhasa, Mexico to Columbia, WOMEN OF LATIN AMERICA is a recommended, diverse and lovely pick
