About the artist
Unknown - the record is documented but the performer is not. 'La madre del soldado', a Spanish-language spoken-word declamation, was issued on Falcon 1514 in 1972, backed with 'La baraja'; UCLA's Strachwitz Frontera Collection holds a Fred Vela artist page, but no biographical information has been located.
