Esperanza means “hope” in Spanish, and the artist with this name fits the bill well. A favorite of Obama, and adored by the Prince (who’s given her the spotlight at his concerts), it’s no wonder Esperanza won Best New Artist at the 2011 Grammy’s. And she is indeed THE artist of the year. While you wait on her Spring 2012 album, check her out on “Chamber Music Society.”
