It’s September, the start of a new month. Well, in mid-August, half a month too late, I came across one of those internet challenges. Being a music nut, I’m willing to take my chances with the data mining assholes and participate. For the month of September (plus October 1), I’m going to answer each of these with a blog post. Here’s the challenge:

Day 15: Favorite Spanish Song

I don’t have a favorite “Spanish” song, but this is my favorite “Spanish language” song, which has Mexican roots. I was first introduced to it while dining at the Alamo in Riverdale, MD before heading out to Arena Stage for a play. It was a regular stop for us on the rare occasions we went out to dinner, especially before going to Arena.

I will say that I have great love for Los Lobos’ version of La Bamba.

My dad occasionally sang La Cucaracha to us ever since that night.
