I totally dig this song! Super fun, great beat, cool accordion. I just bought it on Google Play. I wish more music like this (edge of hip-hop...or further, aka macklemore, rooted in good music) made it on here. But Bill knows BEST!

Thanks for the discovery RP

 Here I sit tapping my toes to this and reading comments.  I stumble across this and had to laugh.  I really do like this song, but I love the distressed bee-man!!!

Erm, for those of us in the Midlands Sprawl, anything from North of Sheffield counts as 'world music'. I figure that this counts as 'world music' on account of it not being anglo-saxon, and coming from Mexico, which is rather a long way away from us.

I wish Bill or Becky would sort out the diacritics in this song title...

Not that this bad, it's catchy, but it's ever so safe and comfortable...

 
So what do you want on RP - Einsturzende Neubaten? Harrison Birtwhistle?

I've always been a sucker for an accordion, so this gets the nod from me.

Dig the glyphs in the title as well - guess Chrome/Mac needs a new font pack.

Come on Bill, that computer of yours is just repeating playlists now.  I see my current comments follow the same pattern as last time thses here played.

And this still deserves maybe a 5 or 6 whilst Basement Jaxx a 7 or 8.  But seems proximity to Monterrey maybe is the key, or maybe 'safe and comfortable' world music are the keywords, we can pretend it's world music when it's nice and safely just down the road in CA for those in the big continent.

Celso Piña lives in one of the neighborhoods (Independencia) here in Monterrey, this neighborhood has a very long history of loving colombian music (cumbia) and have a lot of performers, being Celso one of them, I like this song because celebrates that and also one of the landmarks of this city, a dry river.

I remember also that Celso got real angry when a guy named Carlos Vives made it here through a song called "la gota fria", but eventually helped him to breaktrough to a wide audience, before this his music was only followed by the people familiar with the Independencia or other places slum like.

I like this, especially since it doesn't have that idiotic police siren that Manu Chao can't seem to do without.

Ditto here. The suckageness reaches beyond political, cultural, or language barriers. This could be sung in by Princess Diana in English with perfect diction, and it would still blow. Interesting concept...the spoken parts are cool but something ain't right with the basic song itself.
