Esperanza Spalding - Cantora de Yala

[cmcclenney]

I love her she is so impressional!  Keep it up beautiful. Go Berklee

[BronzeMoonflower]

There is hope for music and art

[TheSanctifiedSoldier]

I haven't loved this way since Sade's entry into music years ago...Anita Baker followed and Rachell Farell even later....since then Lalah Hathaway and NOW Esperanza joins this league of independent women without the BS, raunch, pomp and circumstance...just sincere pure talent....

[bajocultura]

uhhh que bueno que tomen en usa este extraordinario tema del folklore argentino. uno de los músicos más grandes de latinoamerica el cuchi leguizamón con letra de manuel castilla, muy linda versión

[Conspiracy969]

@bajocultura Que es la historia de Cantora de Yala? No soy de Argentina, por eso no puedo entender las letras de esa cancion completamente. La historia es una leyenda?

[eloisecat]

"An amazing challenge," she calls singing w/ bass. What an inspiration!

[MissAfrikaSouth]

This woman is proof that there IS A GOD! What a talent!

[Mbeebeelove]

she is the bass

[Halllllllkzsdljfeier]

@777micoly well justin bieber in a cuple years well be even mor famoys and mor talented and esperanza idc were shes gonna be ..

[777micoly]

"I was gonna play bass and voice, no overdubbing." Quote from Esperanza. This is the kind of comment a true musican makes. They're committed to their music and therefore don't need effects and light shows to entertain their crowds, like you know who.........

[istheshiz]

Finally the Grammies recognized real talent and not silly teen pop sensations who, although doesn't lack talent, lack the soul for true music.

[Halllllllkzsdljfeier]

Ewlll justin bieber is soo much better

[777micoly]

@Halllllllkzsdljfeier Umm, yeah. Let's see where JB is in a few years compared to where she is. She will get invited to play for as long as she wants to because she is a talented musician, unlike JB, who's a no talent pop media creation. Good bye and good riddance to the no talent gimp. Bring on Esperanza!!

[1stMusikLuvR]

Where was this jewel hiding? I have never even heard her name before the News on CBS 2 in New York City that she had won Best New Artist the night before at the Grammy's on Sunday February 13, 2011. The voters for the award did something very good here both for the singer and the public that will benefit from her music. Hope (Esperanza) is like a breath of fresh air. Now she will receive the acolades she deserves. I wish her well.

[dpjazz]

amazing talent! She's inspiring!

[LilEyeCandy334]

She looks like a classic beautiful ghost who haunts the english castle but I definately wouldn't mind if she was in my house! :)

[overtime2005]

Thats crazy if she doesn't know that shes already Amazing. But ofcourse the most humble never do.

[creambud]

Her Spanish is good, and she keeps faithful to the original melody and lyrics.

[drumsNdroms]

Quelle incroyable musicienne!!! hors du commun!

[SuperGamer87]

Thanks for complimenting my future wife, y'all. I appreciate that.

[zifnow]

[qurrer624]

GOD MADE AN ANGEL...............THAT PLAYS BASS

[chowchowjazz]

[nastyneal]

[Skyjuice70]

@nastyneal lol.

[ianam7]

she laugh and looks like jennifer lopez..

[asandrabuenosaires]

Cantora de Yala es una zamba compuesta por dos argentinos que ya no están entre nosotros pero legaron grandes cosas para nuestra cultura argentina. La letra es de Manuel J. Castilla y la música del genial Gustavo "Cuchi" Leguizamón.

[ruzbest]

why don't we see more of HER on tv -- please share with little girls let them know that too can play Bass or any instrument they want!

[denizbass]

You are the most talented and beautiful woman in the universe...

[zaoribah]

YAHHHH this is where its at.Don't go near the elevators Esperanza!Theres danger

[Room335sb]

Sublime versión de una hermosa canción del folklore argentino!!! Grande Esperanza!!!

[ramose801]

100 billion stars. This video is now under that category choice when asked what would be the one thing you would take on a deserted island. I could live on the respect, love and admiration I have in this woman. The over all silent power that intellectual, sexy and talented women like this inspire IS what's behind great works of art, the creation of nations and most likely Heaven itself.

[funkyneil2000]

@ramose801 Very well said. The intellect, talent and sheer joy in what she does that radiates from her is what makes her sexy. She happens to be very physically attractive too.

[EngagedFitness]

@ramose801

Beautifully expressed! I wrote something very similar in my admiration of her on another video where she is interviewed about how she got into music and her journey. She is a true force of inspiration.

[hibrydrythims]

me conmueve profundamente la belleza de esta mujer, toda ella exhala música, maravillosa!!

[mujersemilla]

Esperanza o Brasil Te Ama!

Saludos de Brasil

[maudiska]

Amazing! Thanks T for turning me onto to such wonderful relaxing music...looking forward to seeing her perform in the OC very soon...I am so excited!

[Unforgivableblak]

I love this woman, going to see her live in Jan.

[fitovega]

[WillowesMay]

Qué lindo!! Ya es raro escuchar a una cantante que toque el bajo al mismo tiempo... pero que ademas cante en castellano siendo de habla inglesa... wow!!!

Aqui en mis pagos (soy de Bs As) tenemos quien canta y toca el contrabajo, pero es hombre... PABLO TOZZI TRIO...

[ramonchocobar]
