Exactly three months ago, when Lila Downs posted this song on YouTube, I hesitated to add it to this blog. Frankly, I was hoping that within a month it won't be relevant any longer. But, alas, it is, very much. With Women's March on Washington and Sister Marches under way, I can't think of a better soundtrack for this day.

I just love Postmodern Jukebox. It seems that these guys can make a gem out of almost any song (including creations of Rihanna, Biebs and Britney Spears). Como La Flor is the PMJ's tribute to Selena, featuring the Venezuelan singer Mayré Martínez. According to the blurb, this is "el primer video de Postmodern Jukebox grabado completamente en español", and I hope it's not the last.
