The incredibly pure voice of Alonzo Cruz transformed one afternoon of casual listening to the making of this record. It was as if the sweeping romanticism of this blind singer of Oaxaca summed up in the troubadour tradition of all places - and of Latin settings in particular. Whatever hos song, folk or popular, it becomes a serenade as would be sung to "the beautiful woman behind the latticed window".
Alonzo Cruz - voice and guitar.
"He is somewhat of an enigma to the Oaxacans. Señor Cruz apparently sings for pleasure rather than for profit. Once a week he comes to the portales or sidewalk cafe that borders the city square and sings his songs for his many local friends. The occasional peso he charges is less than the usual fee of the mariachi, the street musicians of Mexico and would hardly keep him in guitar strings."
Alonzo Cruz - voz y guitarra.
"Alonso Cruz es una especie de enigma para los oaxaqueños; aparentemente él canta por placer más que por un beneficio económico. Una vez a la semana viene a los portales y cafés que bordean la plaza de la ciudad y canta sus canciones para sus muchos amigos. El peso ocasional que cobra es mucho menos que el valor que cobran los músicos de mariachi..."
