Tish Hinojosa

Another Texan songbird, Tish Hinojosa, retains the love of her home state by performing in both Spanish and English. She’s equally at home within the Latino music community, or with folkies like Lucinda Williams and Nancy Griffith, or touring internationally with her fellow “Global Divas,” Peru’s Susana Baca and Zimbabwe’s Stella Chiweshe. Her vision of Latina beauty and talent is fresh and simple (Jennifer Lopez and Shakira would look like drag queens beside her); she puts the focus on songwriting that draws on contemporary folk and roots rock, while honoring her Mexican heritage. And Hinojosa’s voice, crystalline and sweet as spring bluebonnets, can stop anyone in his tracks. 900 Mount Curve Ave., Minneapolis; 651-293-9021
