This was supposed to be last week’s HHD, but for some reason Word Press would not format correctly. Then we lost our power for a week and everything stopped while CFE tried three times to fix it. Finally a neighbor, who is a retired CFE tech, fixed it. So here it is .
The Bed I Made. album by The Softies. Light, melodic fun, as always. Music that just makes you feel better, sometimes despite the lyrics. I like to put this on in the morning and the whole day feels good. Stream on Spotify and major platforms.
Reynisima, single by Alejandra Guzmán. Wow. This girl can rock, and seduce, and scare you…all in one song. She is the best. Her deep voice gives a spooky quality to a gut-grabbing alt rock song. Stream on major platforms. Spanish.
Mentiroso, single by Helen Ochoa. Bounce and dance with Ochoa while you luxuriate in her vocals. This song is urgent, angry, hooky, and so repeatable. Regional Mexican music never sounded so good. Stream on Spotify and other platforms. Spanish.
Mexian-American Novio, single by Nancy Sanchez. An update of her 2017 song with close to the same music, but lyrics that reflect the growth of the Mexican Amer\ican community in LA and thre rest of the nation. Stream of Spotify and major platforms. Spanish, English.
Blank Spaces (Hoja in Blanco), single by Janeth Valenzuela. Valenzuela brings her red-hot accordion and regional feel to this pop song. Dance to it or just bop along to this great of example of modern Mexican regional music. Stream on major platforms. Spanish
Hope You’re Alright In spite of the World, single by Elsten Torres. The Cubano King of Love songs wishes you are a great day, and he does it with human, fun, and a song that you will want to put on repeat. Stream on major platforms.
