“Dedicated to the woman who taught me how to sing in the style — mi abuela! ♥️”
“Una De Las Mejores Verciones. Perfecto¡”
The single and music picture, produced and directed by Robby Romero, was mixed by Grammy-winner Steve Addabbo (Bob Dylan, Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin), remastered by Grammy-winner Rob Fraboni (Bob Marley, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton), and available at our Village Market.
“Romero’s passion is evident in this plaintive rendition of this traditional song. Producer Rob Fraboni, who has worked with virtually all the greats in the music industry, says he is reminded of the great songstress of the ‘70s, Linda Ronstadt, with her natural vocal range that spans several octaves from contralto to soprano. ’Dakhóta has that same quality,’ he notes. ‘She’s a natural.”
“La Llorona is a beautifully artistic tribute from one amazing woman to another. My mother’s passion and talent lives within my daughter and I could feel her presence as Dakhóta’s performance captivated me. I can’t stop watching her extraordinary presentation.”
