Getting Savage: Patsy Torres with "Amor Salvaje" and "Chiquitita"



San Antonio Tejano artist Patsy Torres provides our random tune for the day with Amor Salvaje (Savage Love), (and the video gives you a bonus track, Chiquitita!). Patsy Torres started performing and singing at a young age and was discovered while still in high school. She saw music as a way to finance her college studies. She recorded her first album while in college. Her website claims that she was the first Tejano artist to film a music video, and the first to play Tejano music on a nationwide television broadcast. She continues to play music, but she also recently earned a PhD in educational and organizational leadership and is active in many San Antonio organizations, as well as promoting her Postive Force Tour concerts for young people. She has been inducted into the Tejano Roots Hall of Fame. Amor Salvaje and Chiquitita can be found on her 1997 album ...Bien Protegida.
