Making Tortillas: Tish Hinojosa and "Las Marias"

Our random tune for today is by Tish Hinojosa, a south Texas Mexican-American singer-songwriter 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 Marias, can be found on her 1995 album Frontejas.
