Last Thursday, an audio clip thought to be the only known recording to Frida Kahlo’s voice surfaced and went viral. This website, and many others, wrote about it. The discovery would have been a breakthrough for historians, who have no recorded samples of the artist and activist’s speech; at the National Sound Library of Mexico, director Pável Granados called Kahlo’s voice “a great enigma, a never-ending search.” But if the news sounded too good to be true, it was—those who knew Kahlo before her death are saying there’s no way it’s her.

The discovery would have been a breakthrough for historians, who have no recorded samples of the artist and activist’s speech; at the National Sound Library of Mexico, director Pável Granados called Kahlo’s voice “a great enigma, a never-ending search.” But if the news sounded too good to be true, it was—those who knew Kahlo before her death are saying there’s no way it’s her.
According to the initial press release, the clip was apparently made for the pilot episode of the 1955 radio show El Bachiller, and contains a woman’s voice reading an essay Kahlo wrote about Diego Rivera. But Kahlo died in 1954, and was in increasingly bad health and housebound in the years leading up to her death, so the timing here is suspect. A Mexican actor named Amparo Garrido has stepped up and says she’s almost certain she made the recording.
“I feel it’s me and have for a while. I recorded various things for El Bachiller … I’m almost absolutely sure that I recorded this one.”Garrido was also the voice of Snow White, in the 1960s version of the Disney movie dubbed in Spanish. I’m no expert, but I have probably seen hundreds of American movies and cartoons dubbed in Spanish in my lifetime, and when I listened to the supposed Kahlo recording, the lilt of the woman’s voice sounded extremely familiar—with the same meticulous pace of a professional voice actor.
But I’ll defer to the people who actually knew Kahlo here. If they say it’s not her, they’re probably right.is so powerful that the promise of a new likeness was tantalizing. If there’s any audio recordings of her on this earth, I’m sure someone will find one eventually, as we still cannot seem to get enough of her image—and her life.
