This review is from: Llorona (Audio CD)
I just got this from Amazon & the first thing that captured me was the sound of the sumptious guitar by Marcela Rodriguez followed by a trembling, hoarse,fully throated voice of Chavela Vargas Oh! boy is it an experience oh! what? she has the best haunting voice I have ever heard in a tradition music.I dont understand Spanish but the music transcends all language barriers. At times you could feel that she is almost crying and sadness is all over the vocals with the guitar mimicking her trembling voice it's unbelievable.especially on "sombras", "Cruz de Olvido","Rogaciano", "La Llorona" infact ALL SONGS are the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars The rough voice of tenderness, July 6, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Llorona (Audio CD)
Of course not the old Chavela, her voice has been hardened by liquor, aging, and cigars, but the drama and feeling is still there. That is what makes her such an icon. Time has given her an edginess in her "rough voice of tenderness". In addition, the ranchera songs on this CD are beautifully emotional and poignant.
