While I can’t offer you margaritas or luchadores, I can offer you something else Mexican: a song by Julieta Venegas. “Me Van a Matar” may sound familiar to you as it was used in the fabulous film, Amores Perros. I first discovered her a while before that, on some Spanish radio station that was barely coming in. I was driving and had to hope I had scribbled her name down correctly. Thankfully I did.
She went on to have big Latin success, winning a bunch of Latin Grammys and other awards. Basically, she’s one of those artists that is really well-known in that Latin niche but is not that much out of it. And that’s too bad. You should check her out. Maybe even while drinking a little tequila.
