In my work, I feel drawn toward the seekers, people and artists who do not fit into our concepts – just like La Lupe, the Queen of Latin Soul. To be sure, it is not La Lupe that I associate with Malasangre, the Spanish word for a vicious or bad temper. It is the wholesale, thoughtless rejection with which she was constantly met, largely due to the puritanical standards of the early sixties. Though her wild life ended in extreme poverty in 1992, her music is here to stay.
