La Santa Cecilia y Rebel Cats: ‘Soy Mexico-Americano’ (video y lyrics)
POCHO faves La Santa Cecilia (Marisoul on vocals) team up with Mexican rockabilly band Rebel Cats on a new, live version of Soy Mexican-Americano. The video was shot at Be Bops, a 1950s-style American diner in Mexico City. If there was a washboard in addition to the cajon, we’d call this zydeco.
Here’s Los Cenzontles’ version of the song, which is on heavy rotation at POCHO World Headquarters in East Los:

If you circumcise the tips of the cones, what is gonna keep all the juices inside? #fncravings, huh?
