I knew that those seven years I spent in Spanish class dreaming about Churros would pay off eventually-- thanks to Senora Wisnefski, I can tell you the title of this new Beirut single translates to "the crying woman." "La Llorona," as it's title makes clear, is more Spanish-leaning than any of Beirut's past work, featuring prominent mariachi horns. That would be thanks to the 19-piece Jimenez Band who helped Condon cut his upcoming EP, March of the Zapotec.
Zapotec will be bundled together with another Beirut EP, Holland, due out on February 17. [Stereogum]

the video doesn't do much for me, but the song is pretty snazzy.
