Fleeting Birds: Tish Hinojosa and "Las Golondrinas"

Tish Hinojosa, a south Texas Mexican-American singer-songwriter, brings us the random tune for today. 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. This song, Las Golondrinas (The Swallows), can be found on her 1995 album Frontejas.
