song LA LLORNA La Llorona is a Spanish language song from Mexico.
It is difficult to pinpoint exactly who was the first to compose the song "La Llorona", since it stems from the hundred-year-old legend. However, the song was first made well-known to contemporary audiences in 1993 by the Costa Rican-born singer Chavela Vargas. The song's name and inspiration comes from the legend of La Llorona popular in North and South America. The story is of a woman said to haunt the valleys of Mexico, weeping for her children whom she drowned in a fit of madness. There are many versions to the story, but all are a variation of certain details. In one version, a woman drowns her kids because the man she had been seeing wanted to break things off with her. He did not want someone who already had a family.
The voice is very powerful so the song has a lot of feelings.
