Letty Guval labored every summer of her childhood in potato and beet fields in Idaho, traveling from Mexico with her parents as migrant workers. For 10 hours every day she would hoe the fields and sing.
"Everybody would ask for songs. I probably knew more than 400 different songs," Guval says. "I would just sing all day, from six in the morning until four in the afternoon. Now we do a two-hour concert and I'm tired."
A good tired -- the kind of feeling that comes from devoting every ounce of energy to a passionate vocation. If singing could make beet fields bearable, imagine how Guval feels on stage with hundreds of fans singing along, cheering as she does the thing she loves most.
"All I ever wanted to do was sing," she says.
