I, Toña

As you are well aware, dear reader, there is nothing we at Dolores Delargo Towers love more than to discover a "new" diva to explore.

Here's one whose music popped up out of the blue on our beloved Clare Teal's show in her new home on Jazz FM a few weeks ago - Mexico's finest, Señorita Antonia del Carmen Peregrino Álvarez, known by her stage name Toña la Negra!

And here, for your delectation, are two examples of the great lady's talents:

¡Maravilloso!

Perfect sunny "Sunday Music", you will agree.

    1. Jump up and down and move it all around
      Shake your head to the sound
      Put your hand on the ground
      Take one step left and one step right
      One to the front and one to the side
      Clap your hand once and clap your hands twice
      And if it looks like this then you doing it right!


      Oops. Wrong song. ☺️ Jx

      Mambo italiano

  3. Thank you Ms Teal.

    In the first video, I was shocked to see at least two of the women in the audience were plainly not smoking ( perhaps they had just stubbed out )
    and for the second I am reminded of the posters on London Underground;
    " Touching someone
    Inappropriately is Sexual Harassment "
