Description

During the 1970s and early 1980s, Debbie Martínez (1959–2007) was a household name in the New Mexico music scene, serving as a role model for other young women who aspired to be successful musicians at a time when only men dominated the stage. Dubbed “La Chicanita” (The Little Chicana), Debbie Martínez’s presence was anything but small or juvenile. This album is a testament to the outstanding capabilities she possessed at such a young age. On this recording, Debbie’s robust voice is featured on songs arranged and directed by her brother Lorenzo.

Durante los años de 1970s y 1980s, Debbie Martínez (1959–2007) era reconocida como una de las cantantes estrellas de la música regional de Nuevo México. Era también fuente de inspiración para las jóvenes que aspiraban a una carrera musical en un mundo principalmente dominado por los hombres. La presencia artística de Debbie Martínez, así como su robusta voz, contrastaban con su nombre artístico, “La Chicanita”. Esta grabación de canciones arregladas y dirigidas por su hermano Lorenzo es un testamento del talento que poseía a tan temprana edad.
