Voces que Diamanda Galas recomienda:

"La Lupe. She was a great singer of salsa music from Cuba. Castro kicked her out of Cuba because he thought she was obscene. She would sing and pull her clothes off and scream at the same time -- an incredible sense of timing, a great improviser. Ghena Dimitrova, a great opera singer from Bulgaria; flamenco singer Camaron de las Islas; Oum Kalthoum is one of my all-time favorites; Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle. There's nothing half-assed about them. And let's not forget Ethel Merman. There's a woman who sang seven shows a week for a thousand years"

La conocí gracias a Almodóvar. Un volcán, la morena.
¿Castro la expulsó por obscena? Estos comunistas a veces son bastante estreñidos...

Yo como no conozco a Almodóvar, no la conocia, jeje.
