Jesús Vásquez

María de Jesús Vásquez Vásquez (December 20, 1920 – April 3, 2010), known by the pseudonym La Reina y Señora de la Canción Criolla, was a virtuoso Peruvian singer. She was daughter of Pedro Vásquez Chávez and María Jesús Vásquez Vásquez. Her particular singing style captivated listeners, as her intensity had the feel of Peruvian creole taste. She appeared in some Peruvian films of the 1930s, such as Gallo de mi Galpón (1938). Jesús Vásquez died in Maison de Sante, Lima. Peruvian President Alan García declared one day of national mourning. more »
