adiós

Read last night that Spanish singer Mari Trini passed away on the 7th.  Not a huge fan, but I find it interesting that if you Google Trini’s name, nearly every mention of her in English links her to Nicholas Ray, who supposedly was the one who encouraged her to embark on a singing career (though the best resource I can find in English, a write-up at the reliable ChaChaCharming, admits “the accuracy of Mari’s past has been muddled by myth and false publicity”).  

My favorite of her songs is “Yo No Soy Esa.”  See below.
