A celebration of musical HERstory this week on Beat Latino! We honor the music created by fierce and powerful women who marked the lives of several generations of Latinos world-round. From Mercedes Sosa of Argentina to Chavela Chargas of Costa Rica to Selena from Texas and Chabuca Granda from Peru, Beat Latino celebrates these and many more amazing women whose voices made our hearts sing!
