about
Como Las Movies creates an eerie redesign of the Son Jarocho standard, engulfing the song in spacey synth swirls and moody vocals. This musical reincarnation is a celebration, taking strands and echoes of the past, rewoven into the modern sonic tapestry of LatinX futurism.
lyrics
A una bruja me encontré, por el aire iba volando
Por el aire iba volando, a una bruja me encontré
No me la va usted a creer, lo que otros me habían contado,
Lo de arriba era mujer, y los de abajo pescado
A una bruja me encontré, por el aire iba volando
Por el aire iba volando, a una bruja me encontré
Entonces le pregunté, a quién andaba buscando?
Pos un señor como usted, pa que me toque huapango
Me agarra la bruja me lleva a su casa,
Me vuelve en maceta, y una calabaza.
Me agarra la bruja, me lleva al cuartel
Me volvió en maceta, y me dio de comer
Dígame, dígame, dígame usted
¿Cuántas criaturitas se chupo ayer?
Señor a ninguna, ninguna lo se
¡Ando en pretensiones de chuparme a usted!
