Norteña. Memorias del comienzo es la historia de un enamoramiento: el de Julieta Venegas con la música. Criada en Tijuana, en ese paisaje singular donde el desierto se encuentra con el mar y una frontera divide —o junta— dos países y dos formas de vida, Julieta recorre los primeros años que la formaron como artista: cómo aprendió a escuchar, cómo aprendió a tocar, cómo fue encontrando su propio sonido. La música llega primero como herencia familiar, como alegría compartida, como el idioma que su familia ya hablaba antes que ella.

Bambini rimasti soli o con parenti anziani che non avevano la forza e i mezzi per curarsi di loro.» Così scrisse Teresa Noce, dirigente dell’Udi, Unione donne italiane, che fu l’anima del grande sforzo collettivo avviato all’indomani della Seconda guerra mondiale per salvare i piccoli del Sud condannati dalla povertà.
