Tagged: latina, Mariachi, Mexico, New MexicoPosted on: April 29th, 2007“Debra Martinez’s life story was not far removed from the mariachi ballads she sang with grace and beauty.
There was triumph, tragedy, love.
A local singing phenomenon from her earliest years, Martinez – known to New Mexico mariachi aficionados in the 1970s and 80s as “La Chicanita” – died Wednesday after a four-year battle with cancer. She was 48.”
