The Blind Troubador of Oaxaca

This is an old Smithsonian recording of a blind, elderly fellow who would walk around Oaxaca singing and playing songs. The last track, "La Llorona," is a famous Mexican folk song about a woman who drowns her children and then stalks the landscape weeping for them.

Doce Cascabeles (12 Bells)
Quien Sera' que me ama? (Who will it be who loves me?)
Ll Llorona
