Mexican painter Frida Kahlo’s self-portraits made her world famous. She and her husband, the painter Diego Rivera, revolutionized Mexican art in the first half of the 20th century. But no one had a recording of her voice. Until now, maybe. The National Music Library of Mexico released a radio recording of Kahlo reading the story Portrait of Diego. She had written the story about her husband. The Mexican government announced the discovery of the recording. It said studies suggest that the voice on the recording is Kahlo’s, but they were not able to be completely sure. “It’s a finding that has many elements that can be identified as the (possible) voice of Frida Kahlo, but isn’t 100 percent," said Secretary of Culture Alejandra Frausto. Kahlo spent long periods in bed after being severely injured in a bus accident in her mid-twenties. She painted, creating 200 art works in the bright colors of Mexican culture. She has long been considered a model of feminism.
