A Roundup of Lamento Borincano Interpreters

Bronx Latin Jazz All-Stars







Son Guajiro - Herencia Antillana






Laúd






Piano






Renato Pérez Guitar






Marc Anthony






Thanks to Lars Johnson, I have discovered a good rendition by a female vocalist,which is in the música típica tradition rather than in the operatic vein. It can be downloaded for a fee here. You have to scroll down through the album selections to find "Lamento Borincano." I have not figured out how to make it available as I have the above selections, but it is worth a listen.

At last, someone has posted the version by Mexican singer Chavela Vargas, on Youtube. The URL is

So, for jibaritos and jibaritas, ENJOY!

About Me ¿Quién soy?

My photo
My writing frequently explores multicultural themes. Born in Puerto Rico, I moved at a young age to the U.S., where my parents became Pentecostal ministers. Early immersion in Latino and religious cultures preceded later experiences as a businesswoman, a White House Fellow, and life aboard a trawler cruising from Martha’s Vineyard to South America. These sometimes incompatible worlds have given me a respectful outlook toward differing points of view. My short stories, poems, and essays reflect my own inclusive, yet sharply defined, journey across cultural and socioeconomic boundaries. I recently published Peace on the Journey, a poetry collection which explores the theme of renewal in the face of adversity. @peaceonjourney
