We celebrate The beauty and resilience of women’s vocal traditions through The ages and seek to share this art form through joyful, soulful, and life-enhancing performances that gladden The heart, lift The spirit, and expand The mind.

Ezechielis porta Clausa pertransitur, Unde lux est orta Salus invenitur. Ergo nostra concio Psallat iam in lustro; Benedicat Domino: Salus Regi nostro. Rejoice, rejoice!

Me hará señales de acudir, por una luz de eternidad cuando me llame, voy a ir. A preguntarle, por ese niño que con su muerte, lo perdí, que con "Nonino" se me fue... Cuando me diga, ven aquí... Renaceré... Porque... ¡Soy...! la raíz, del país que amasó con su arcilla. ¡Soy...! Sangre y piel, del "tano" aquel, que me dio su semilla. Adiós "Nonino".. que largo sin vos, será el camino. ¡Dolor, tristeza, la mesa y el pan...! Y mi adiós.. ¡Ay! Mi adiós, a tu amor, tu tabaco, tu vino. ¿Quién..? Sin piedad, me robó la mitad, al llevarte "Nonino"... Tal vez un día, yo también mirando atrás... Como vos, diga adiós ¡No va más..!  less
