The Cry! is an album by saxophonists Prince Lasha and Sonny Simmons which was recorded in late 1962 and released on the Contemporary label.
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Alex Henderson stating: "This album is quirky and dissonant, but it isn't harsh or confrontational. In avant-garde circles, The Cry! went down in history as one of Lasha's finest accomplishments -- and deservedly so". On All About Jazz, Dave Rickert called it "fine free jazz that succeeds at being adventurous without being demanding".

The Cry (also called La Llorona, which translates to "The Crying Woman") is a 2007 independent horror film directed by Bernadine Santistevan and co-written with Monique Salazar.
Along with his partner Sergio Perez (Carlos Leon), New York, detective Alex Scott (Christian Camargo) is investigating the mysterious disappearance of several children. They interview Gloria the Curandera (Míriam Colón) who advises that an evil force is pursuing the reincarnation of her son and is drowning missing children to bring pain to their mothers.
The story is based upon the Mexican urban legend of La Llorona. The legend began in Aztec mythos where the goddess Cihuacoatl was said to have taken the form of a beautiful lady draped in white garments to predict the death of her children. This early myth evolved into the modern Mexico version of La Llorona, a woman who, betrayed by her husband, drowned her children out of revenge. As punishment for this horrific act, La Llorona’s spirit is condemned to roam the earth for eternity, crying for her children.
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
What have you done?
What have you done?
Your brother's blood
cries out to me
From the ground
Now you are
under a curse and
Driven from the ground
Which opened its mouth
To receive your
Brother's blood
From your hand
What have you done?
What have you done?
You will be a restless
wanderer on the earth
For dust you are
