Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo Teams With Mexican Students For ‘El Colas’ Quarantine Video

Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo teamed up with Mexican students from Los Cenzontles Cultural Arts Academy for a rendition of “El Colas.” The song also arrived with an accompanying quarantine video.

“El Colas” is a traditional son Jarocho, a style of Mexican folk music from the state of Veracruz. For the quarantine-style video, students from Los Cenzontles along with Hidalgo perform the song on traditional instruments. “Because the academy could not host their annual Spring recital, they created this video to engage and celebrate their students,” noted Los Lobos.
