Los Curanderos. The musical healers with the Latin beat and the soaring
impassioned voice of Mary Welch. Good for what ever it is that ails you. Available as a danceable tonic and now in the new spicy CD format. Curame, is the title cut of our current CD, and the plea for a cure has been answered! Calling on the long standing traditions of the tribal medicine man, Mary Welch y Los Curanderos "Bring on the healing" to a Latin beat. A tablespoon of tango, a bottle of bolero, a fresh batch of bossa nova, a side of salsa, a splash of disco & top 40, all ingredients in our potent remedy potion. Who needs the chemical solutions of modern medicine when Los Curanderos are on the stage.
