Mexico's grand Chavela Vargas died today, but her music will go on forever. Rest in peace, lovely Chavela.

If you have never heard it, find the song "rayando el sol" recorded many years ago. A perfect song. RIP Chavela. She kept performing until very recently, to large crowds.

Es el fin de la epocha de oro de la musica mexicana. Gracias por la memoria. La vida no vale nada.
