Today’s videos: Eugenia Leon and Eva Ayllon

This week’s videos (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) looked at guerillas and paramilitaries in Latin America. Quite honestly, I’m in the mood to end this week in an upbeat mood so we’re going to showcase some great music.

If you’re in the Los Angeles area this weekend and want to listen to a pair of phenomenal songstresses then you’re in luck. If you can please check them out; you won’t be sorry.

  • Eva Ayllon will be perfuming at the Walt Disney Concert Hall tonight. She is one of the best-known Afro-Peruvian singers and a wonderful representative of the musica criolla genre.

  • As Vivirlatino pointed out, Mexican singer Eugenia Leon will be on stage at the Getty Center tonight and Saturday. Leon is a legend whose voice is incomparable and a delight to hear.
