Argentinian singer Liliana Herrero

[Tom Storer]

I discovered Liliana Herrero when I came across her singing on "Domador de Huellas" by Guillermo Klein (also Argentinian). She's a major figure in Argentinian popular music, singing traditional music and things by contemporary songwriters, in a sophisticated and passionate style, full of fierce Latin pride (no shrinking violet she). Here's one example:

And here's another, with Uruguayan singer-songwriter Fernando Cabrera:

And with guitarist-songwriter Juan Falu:

Recently I've been listening to her two latest releases, "Este Tiempo" from 2011 and "Maldigo" from this year. I'm on a binge. Here is one from "Este Tiempo":

I wish I spoke Spanish! And that I knew more about the traditional and popular music of the various South American countries. If anybody can point to more, please do.
