Tish Hinojosa's voice radiates warmth, grace, tenderness... a hundred adjectives don't do it justice. Whether she sings in Spanish or English, this Tejano singer delivers a melodic and rich-sounding album that's only eight songs deep. (And one of eight, the completely charming "Arbolito," is an English version of the opening track, which is sung in Spanish!) "Building #9" is a social-consciousness-raiser about single moms and their power to give their children the necessary personal tools to make it, and while that sounds stiff on the surface, in Hinojosa's hands, it fits right in with the mood of the season. Built with a mostly acoustic attack and that heaven-sent voice, Memorabilia Navideña is that rare kind of Christmas record that you can play any time of the year. A find--and a joy! --Martin Keller
