No sé si conoceís a la cantaora Paquita la del barrio. Si no, podéis empezar con su canción Te engaño tres veces . La primera por coraje, la segunda por capricho y la tercera por placer. Es una canción impresionante y una mujer estupenda.
I don't know if you have heard of the singer Paquita, La del Barrio. If not, you could start by listening to her song ' I deceived you three times'. The first time out of bravery, the second time whimsically and the third time just for pleasure. This is an impressive song and a fantastic woman.
