A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

Lighting the Way: Tish Hinojosa and "Farolito"
Farolito, or Little Street Lamp, is our random tune by south Texas Mexican-American singer-songwriter Tish Hinojosa. Originally from San Antonio, Hinojosa sings traditional Mexican folksongs and her own compositions in both Spanish and English. She accompanies herself on guitar, playing right-handed even though she is naturally left-handed. Farolito can be found on her 1995 album Frontejas.
