Review of Las Mujeres de Juarez


Yanira Flores, of Pulse of Portland Music Project, has created a heart wrenching piece on a subject I had never heard of. Over a haunting soundtrack Yanira conducts interviews that illuminate the mystery of an all too common problem in Mexico. I would like to know who her subjects were but each one is able to connect her topic to their personal life. “We hear about it and it kind of makes you feel unsafe to go back to your country.”
The vocal audio is fuzzy and contains spikes and blips. Maybe a quieter recording environment and a better microphone would improve the audio.
Thank you Yanira for producing this piece. Air “Las Mujeres de Juarez” on a show dealing with atrocities, lack of government action, and Mexico.
