I was fortunate to have been in the audience that evening. This may have been Lydia's last public performance, which makes her second song even more poignant. I had spoken with her and her sister earlier that day and she told me she didn't think she would be able to perform. But with a little bit of coaxing, she managed to get on the stage to perform these two songs.
The Magnificent, Lydia Mendoza accompanied by the Great Flaco Jimenez. You can see in his eyes that he is honored to be playing behind the legend Lydia Mendoza. Great video. Thanks for uploading. 💖
The real Tejano Queen.........none of that Bidi Bidi Bom Bom..bull$hit!! She faced true obstacles and did it when women really "didn't" have a place in the music scene.
Me gustaría saber si esta señora Lidia que está cantando ahí en la misma que canta el tango mal hombre es que no le veo en nada parecido bien la voz ni en el rostro ni en nada
Si, es lo mismo. Debe recordar a la La Sra. Mendoza tenía más de 60 años entre su grabación de "Mal Hombre" y esta actuación, y también había sufrido un derrame cerebral 10 años antes. ¡Espero poder sonar tan bien como 83!
