59: La Llorona REMIX

Summary: This week, we are re-releasing an old episode: La Llorona.  If you don't know the story, its a doozy. Let us sum up, woman marries man against her better judgement and has two kids. Man drinks and cheats and finally leaves her for another woman. Instead of getting her groove back, woman does the unthinkable. This story is pretty telling of how women are viewed as "hysterical" and how they cannot possibly live without a man. We suggest an alternate ending: La Llorona goes to the beach and meets Taye Diggs.  Audio engineering and other music provided by Aaron Crossland. You can listen to his band, F. LaRocque, at https://flarocque.bandcamp.com. Story music: “Barque sur le lac” by Komiku, http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Komiku/.   Don't forget to rate, review, subscribe!
