¡Mexicanas Mujeres!
Categorized under Cultura , Raza | Tags: Mexicans
IT'S NOT OFTEN that you'll hear me say "I sure wish I were in Houston!" But this is an exception.
Concerts, exhibitions and performances are only part of the National Sor Juana Festival: A Tribute to Mexican Women, which begins Sunday and continues at venues across the city through April.The festival celebrates Mexican-born Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695), a poet, playwright, rebel nun — and the first feminist of the Americas. [...]
The public kickoff is a free concert at 5 p.m. Sunday featuring Divinas — Lila Downs, Magos Herrera and Azul — at Miller Outdoor Theatre, 100 Concert Drive, Hermann Park.
What a woman! Come on. Poet, playwright, rebel nun? Damn.
A heads-up for those who can take advantage of the event.

I swear to god I posted my thing at Pandagon before coming over here. I was listening to Lila for 50 miles in the truck this afternoon and just decided to post.

turns out the secret reason I was thinking of Lila more than usual?
I missed a concert of hers the night before, 30 miles from my house.
