Leticia

 
 
Leticia (lātē'sēä), town (1993 pop. 17,758), capital of Amazonas commissary, SE Colombia, on the upper Amazon. The Leticia region, a narrow strip of land extending S of the Putumayo River to the Amazon, was disputed, at times violently, between Colombia and Peru (1932-34). The region was awarded to Colombia by the League of Nations in 1934. Active U.S. participation by Secretary of State Henry Stimson with the League established a precedent, permitting interference by an international body in an area covered by the Monroe Doctrine. Rubber manufacture is the only industry.

Biography

The Massachusetts-based collegiate folk-rock quintet Leticia (the band) was headed up by lead vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Leticia (the individual), and also featured vocalist Andrea Talbot and bassist Rhys Davies. The band's debut album, No Songs About Trains, was originally released in 1993; a follow-up EP, Vietnam, appeared in 1995. Leticia's second full-length, Barely, bore a harder-rocking approach and a melodic sensibility indebted to Brit-pop; it was released in mid-1997. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
