Calaveras y diablitos
Playlist with themes of death (and some that I just like the vibe, not as dark or gloomy as you would think), that are (monstly) in spanish from Latinoamérica. Hope you enjoy it!

Niña, cuando yo muera
No llores sobre mi tumba
Cántame un lindo son, ¡ay, mamá!
Cántame "La sandunga"
No me llores, no
No me llores, no
Porque si lloras yo peno
En cambio si tú me cantas
Yo siempre vivo y nunca muero

song of the day:
caetono veloso with lila downs - burn it blue (2002)
a winding and layered song that dances from sullen (veloso) to rousing (downs), driven by strings and mexican guitar. the album won the academy award for best original score for 2002.

"The Smoke Lingers" Playlist
This is what I listened to while writing so y'all can have some context. I listened to La Llorona while writing chapter one and the rest of the playlist is chapter two. (I love Peggy Lee and Spanish music if y'all can't tell)

La Linea - Lila Downs
Flor de maíz
El cielo te está cuidando
Llano de lumbre
La tierra que te parió
Cornflower
The sky is watching over you
Plain of fire
The earth which gave birth to you
“La linea” is “the line,” ie, the US-Mexican border; Ana Lila Downs Sánchez is Mexican and Mixtec, and this song laments the political powers drawing artificial lines through the land and punishing people for crossing them, even when the lands are their own. Lyrics and translation can be found here.

Si a tus oídos llegan mis ruegos
Mitiga el fuego de mi pasión
Calma la pena que me consume
Y da tu perfume a mi corazón
Dame por Dios tu amor
Y no hagas sufrir a mi corazón
