I´m sorry to say that you´ve been proved right about the lack of attention this thread is receiving, Gavin
I´m still catching up with artists you´ve been posting, and I was pleased to recognize the name of Julietta Venegas, who has had quite a few pop-song hits here in Mexico, the biggest being

Another name I´ve heard before is Juana Molina, because she was mentioned here some time ago:-
