Blind Troubador of Oaxaca, Mexico (1956) Alonzo Cruz CD

"This item is part of the Cook archives.  The original liner notes from the LP are included."

“He is somewhat of an enigma to the Oaxacans. Senor Cruz apparently sings for pleasure rather than for profit. Once a week he comes to the portales or sidewalk cafe that borders the city square and sings his songs for his many local friends. The occasional peso he charges is less than the usual fee of the mariachi, the street musicians of Mexico… and would hardly keep him in guitar strings…”
