Asturian poet Alfonso Camín dedicated his best-known poem Macorina to María Constancia Caraza Valdés aka "La Macorina" (1892—1977), who was Havana's most famous prostitute as well as the first woman driver in Cuba. Camín's poem was made into a song by Chavela Vargas. This week's version, performed by Marisa Valle Roso, appears on her 2017 album Consciente.
...is El canto de la arena by Aziza Brahim. This song appears on Sahrawi singer's 2016 album Abbar el Hamada.
...is Cómo Te Quiero, a film by Mexican animator Cossa based on the song by the Texan band Khruangbin. This song appears on the band's 2018 album Con Todo El Mundo. According to Wikipedia, the title of the album came from the bassist Laura Lee's Mexican-American grandfather, who would often ask, "¿Cómo me quieres?" and would only accept one response, "Con todo el mundo".
