Alberto Manzano immediately considered the possibility that Perla Batalla, Californian siger of Mexican origin and Leonard Cohen backsinger who had worked with Manzano on the tribute production "Acordes with Leonard Cohen" in 2007, the ideal person to perform a repertoire of songs focused on fighting order denouncing injustices and inequalities, wars, atrocities and racist policies that capitalized the imperialist system.

I always find it a bit depressing when a useful post gets no replies. So even though we've talked about it elsewhere: Thank you, Beatriz!

Re: Perla Batalla in Barcelona
I have just found a video of Perla performing "Famous Blue Raincoat" in Barcelona.
What a beautiful, beautiful rendition it is, in every way.
Wish I had been able to attend...
