All the world stand, unless all the world confess that in all the world there is no maiden fairer than the Empress of La Mancha, the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso. -Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes

“Dulcinea” by TREMOLOCO
Dulcinea was the idealized woman of Don Quixote’s imagination.
Referring to someone as your “Dulcinea” implies hopeless devotion.
Love and music are a bit like that, an idealized never-ending journey.
It’s never quite as you imagine (usually harder).
But so much more than you could have guessed.

These songs describe this sort of musical and romantic crossing.
From a Georgia rain to a serendipitous passing on a New Orleans streetcar,
From Las Cruces, New Mexico to the Louisiana Gulf Coast, from L.A. to Mexicali.
