...is Los ejes de mi carreta, a milonga composed by the Argentine Atahualpa Yupanqui (1908—1992) on the lyrics by the Uruguayan Romildo Risso (1882—1946). I hope you like this recent version by the Cuban Septeto Santiaguero.

La canción de la semana #950

We're in the middle of carnival, and I think it's time to put on something carnivalesque. In our local supermarket, Hiperdino, they were playing this song a lot during the past few weeks, so here it is: Cómo están las cosas by María Peláe and our very own Estefanía Correia González, better known as NIA.

Las month, NIA won Gaviota de plata in the international competition at the LXIV Festival Internacional de la Canción de Viña del Mar, the biggest music festival in Latin America. She is performing at the Carnaval de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria this Saturday, 8 March (Plaza de Canarias, 18:30).
