Moving with equal grace through folk, country, and Hispanic idioms, Tish
Hinojosa makes the boundaries between cultures, languages, and musical
genres disappear. With a voice which sweet and strong, her genius lies
in her ability to fuse popular culture and ethnic tradition into the
universals of truth, wonder, and faith. Her latest album, Sign of
Truth (Rounder) is a collection of her originals -- richly detailed,
delicious slices of life. A native of San Antonio who now resides in
Austin, Tish remains committed to her own style and cultural roots. As
she herself put it, "I still take to the road clinging to the culture,
my native tongue wanting to speak and weep and sing. I embrace what has
made me American or simply that which draws out humanity. It's all ours
to question, to celebrate, and to pass on." Tish, is joined by Marvin
Dykhaus on guitar and mandolin. |
