So we may chat about something besides Miss Battle and the Pope, La Cieca offers you a quiz she’s been keeping in the vault for just such an occasion. It’s devised by Our Own Sanford, and it features 12 vocalists performing the “Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5.” Hint: the first voice you hear is that of Anna Maria Biondi; our dear Sanford has intimated to La Cieca that identifying the remaining 11 should be child’s play to any true connoisseur.
