O’s Notes: Veteran Honduran vocalist Eva Cortés celebrates her latest release La Malinche. She is a storied historical figure who has survived the ugly past of being enslaved, an unfortunate, ignored truth in the Americas. This is her ninth album, and it comes with a sense of urgency to deal with the increasing ugly actions of ICE raids, systemic racism, abuse of power, and erased histories. She performs eleven emotional songs notably “Light And Sorrow”, “Hij@s Del Maíz”, “Spanish Harlem”, and “Sur Global”.
