Music: Vicente Fernandez

Vicente Fernandez is a disciple of love. He is consumed by its nuances and extremes. He sings of joyous exuberant love and of the torrent of pain and misery experienced by a lover betrayed. For those damned by jealousy or carrying the weight of unrequited love, Mr. Fernandez knows your heart. In his world love will prevail. There is no alternative.

 Here are three songs of love by Vicente Fernandez.

Volver, Volver

Miedo

El Ultimo Beso

Frida and Josephine

This photograph is intriguing and inspirational. Does it document their first meeting? What did they talk about? Where was the picture taken? Mexico City? Paris? New York?

Josephine Baker and Frida Kahlo were uniquely 20^th Century creations; artists and muses who were capable of taking advantage of the historical events of their time to be their true selves. The Great Migration and Paris between the world wars shaped Ms. Baker. Ms. Kahlo thrived in the freedoms provided to artists and middle class women by the Mexican Revolution.  

What can we make of ourselves today? Can we be as bold as Frida and Josephine?
