Today’s feature is "La Valentina," the third piece in the collection. This melody originated among General Pancho Villa's troops during the Mexican Revolution of 1910. It pays homage to Valentina Ramírez Avita, a courageous female soldier who disguised herself as a man to fight in the revolution. Rising to the rank of Lieutenant before being dismissed for her true identity, she became a symbol of the revolutionary spirit, forever immortalized in this song.
