Recorded live on KOOP radio in Austin 3/25/17.

This episode is another blast from the past! Let's go back to March 2017 when Rancho Alegre's own Piper LeMoine sat in for Dot Matrix on her spectacular Girlie Show, which plays nothing but music by female artists.

What happened was radio magic - 11 female Tejano musicians in the studio at once. Most were from the Austin area, with a couple from San Marcos and another from San Antonio.

Included were:

Mia Garcia (then age 9)

Sylvia Donley

B Santa Ana

Maria Villarreal-Fraga (Maria y Cien Grados)

Silvia Rodriguez (Maria y Cien Grados)

Erika Santana (Cañonazo)

Irma Chavez (La Distancia)

Laura Ann (La Distancia)

Daisy Loren (then age 13)

Devin Banda

Nikki Lopez Vigil

We talked with each of the artists and had a listening party with their music and that of other legendary female artists. We basked in the moment and cheered each other on. Unfortunately, the recording cut off before Nikki could finish and before we could talk more with Devin.

Songs played:

Lydia Mendoza - Mal Hombre

Linda Escobar - Es Muy Tu Vida

Beatriz Llamas con Los Fabulosos Cuatro - Dios Me Libre

Laura Ann y La Distancia - Necesito Tu Amor

B Santa Ana - Pa' Que Volver

Sylvia Donley with Manuel "Cowboy" Donley - El Barco de Oro

Maria y Cien Grados - Cumbia Del Sol

Daisy Loren - Amor Eterno

Mia - Pepe Le Pew

Cañonazo - Lo Lindo de Ti
