Angélica María

Angélica María is a marvel of cross-border belonging. Born in New Orleans yet crowned Mexico's Sweetheart, she rose as a child star of Mexican cinema's Golden Age and never really left the spotlight, singing, acting, and writing across decades. What moves me is her staying power: a Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and a Hollywood Walk of Fame star are nice, but the real feat is remaining beloved from childhood into her eighties. To be claimed so completely by a country not of your birth says everything about a voice and a presence that settle permanently in people's hearts.
