76 mixes with songs by “Chavela Vargas”

"Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets."
- Arthur Miller

Eight tracks including music by Chavela Vargas, Lila Downs, and Marta Gomez.
I think she would have listened to them if he only had an iPod in these days.

Choosing songs based on how they feel versus being able to understand the words in most of them. It all seems to translate to love.

Ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser

Includes music by Billie Holiday, Patsy Cline and Red Foley.

Ten tracks including music by Amparo Ochoa, Lhasa, and Chavela Vargas.

Eight tracks including music Omara Portuondo, Choco Orta, and Cristina Branco. I know it's misleading that Yma Sumac is on the cover and not in the mix. I promise some Yma in the next one. :)

Line up 2 shots of your favorite Añejo for this mix.

Salud!

Al dejarme creíste ganar algo, muchacha.
Ahora, pasado el tiempo, hablas de mí con otro.
Dices que sólo valgo cuando empaño
la blancura insondable de una página.
Y crees que la poesía va a preservar mi nombre.

Te agradezco esa última, esa inútil
manera de quererme.
Te equivocas
(lo digo sin dolor y sin desprecio a nada):
mis versos vivirán menos que tu belleza.

José Emilio Pacheco

“Al colgarse un hombre de un árbol, caigan las hojas despechadas y escápense furiosos los pájaros; que cada uno de ellos ha recibido una injuria personal.”
