Tonina is a classically-trained American musician, journalist and poet from St Louis. She sings in both Spanish and English and one of her songs (in collaboration with Javier Limón) was even named by former US president Barack Obama as a particular favourite. Listen to this poetic and rather melancholy song to practise cuando followed by the subjunctive and como vs cómo (with and without written accent).
