Mexican singer and songwriter Silvana Estrada is intimately familiar with the Spanish language, meaning that the rhythm of the “Marchita” lyrics is just as important as the message of a lost love. “Marchita” is a quiet meditation on the lyric and musical poetry of the conditional tense, and is a master class in saying too much with too little. Together with the distinctive arrangement of Mexican folk instruments enhanced by a string quartet, the song becomes the mark of a fully developed artist.
