# Conversation with Mamselle Ruiz

American Folklife presents Oral History with Mamselle Ruiz. Mamselle Ruiz is Mexican-born singer and guitarist living in French-speaking Montreal. You might expect "Mamselle," which is colloquial French for "Miss," to be a stage name, but in fact it's her real first name, bestowed when she was born in Mexico city. Mamselle was raised on all kinds of Mexican music, and she includes traditional Mexican folksongs such as "La Bruja" and "La Llorona" in a diverse repertoire that also includes Son Huasteco classics along with Latin cover songs and her own compositions.
