Chulita Tear Drop - If You're Ever In Texas

“I am privileged to have friends and family all over the world and the past couple of years have separated many of us. A letter to mi amigos: if you’re ever in (South) Texas, you know we’ll eat, drink and we’ll listen to some oldies, R&B, cumbias, un poco de garage rock, a little country, y también sin falta, un poco de tejano and if you can’t make it to Texas anytime soon, here’s a little playlist to keep you in the meantime. Until we see each other again. xoxo”
