Riff: Calexico – “Cumbia De Donde”

Jan 30, 2015

I’m not from here (¿De dónde eres?)/I’m not from there (¿A dónde vas?)/Where am I going? (¿De dónde eres?)/Should I care? (¿A dónde vas?)

from Cumbia De Donde lyrics by Calexico

“It ain’t where you came from,” as the saying goes, and “it ain’t where you’re headed” either. Calexico is “in the moment” on a brassy latin-rock jam that hopefully brings the genre more attention than the likes of Mariachi El Bronx have given it; [LISTEN].
