Los Cenzontles (The Mockingbirds), a group acclaimed for their bold exploration of Mexican roots music, officially premieres their new video "La Rielera" on LA TV's music segment "En La Zona" (9 PM ET/6 PM PST).
Their new single, "La Rielera", is a storytelling corrido that dates back a hundred years to the Mexican revolution.
Los Cenzontles' version of "La Rielera" is sung by the captivating and dynamic female duet of Fabiola Trujillo and Lucina Rodriguez, accompanied by traditional guitars.
Their powerful voices personify the strength of Mexican women and inspire new generations to explore their roots.
These two remarkable female voices are joined by Los Cenzontles' bassist Emiliano Rodriguez, a 21 year old with a mix of Mexican-American, French and Vietnamese heritage, and the group's musical director Eugene Rodriguez, a Grammy nominated producer and winner of countless regional and national awards for his work in cultural promotion.
The music video was shot at the historic Downhome Music Store, home of Arhoolie Records, in El Cerrito, California.
Los Cenzontles share a long-standing collaboration with Arhoolie records, a label with a 50 year history of promoting roots music.
The video was directed by Tudor Stanley, who directed Los Cenzontles videos "A Pair of Brown Eyes" and "La Sarna."
