MUSIC FOR MONDAYS : Desde Espana: Consuelo Barroso Sings 'Siempre Te Amare.'

                 YOUTUBE: 3:57 / Static Foto

     The wonderful thing about YouTube...is discovering new musicians.
     So much easier...than Pandora..at least here in the USA.
     Just click an image...sample...and save or discard.
     I was searching for an old version of 'No Vale La Pena'... recorded long ago on a cassette mix tape...to share here on MFM...when I found a singer just called...'Consuelo'...doing a version.
     It turns out that there are many Consuelos!
     Some Googling finally revealed her full name...Consuelo Barroso...and she apparently hails from Mallorca.
     She has a strong voice...here accompanied only by guitar...and rhythmic clapping so common in Spanish flamenco.
     Sometimes its nice to visit the motherland of Latin music.
     The link is : "Siempre Te Amare'.
     BTW...I never found my taped version of 'No Vale'.
     But highly recommended...is Consuelo's 4:01 performance of  'No Vale La Pena'...with static foto.
