I previously mentioned how I’ve been trying to learn Spanish over the last couple of years, listening to Spanish radio in my car in an effort to help with that. Before the pandemic, I would usually chat with my coworker Michelle, a well-versed Spanish speaker, about the various songs I was getting into. A lot of them at the time were banda songs, which Michelle wasn’t really a big fan of, but when I told her about this cover song by Los Ángeles Azules featuring Natalia Lafourcade and played it for her, she applauded my foray into cumbia.
