Editor's note

Paloma San Basilio, the voice of Spanish musical theater

A Madrid-born singer whose 1976 version of "No Llores Por Mí Argentina" introduced her to a generation.

For her theatrical side, start with "No Llores Por Mí Argentina." For something lighter, try "Casi, Casi Una Mujer."

Her version of "No Llores Por Mí Argentina" from Evita became a Spanish-language standard in 1976, giving the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical a distinct Iberian voice. Songs like "Casi, Casi Una Mujer" and "Así eres tú" show her range from theatrical ballads to more intimate pop. She earned the Medalla de Oro al Mérito en las Bellas Artes, Spain's gold medal for artistic merit.

She started performing in the 1970s and broke through with that Evita cover. Albums like 1984's Paloma and 1992's Piel y Fuego document her work with composers like José Luis Perales. Later songs include "La fuerza de amar" and "Juntos."
