Latin Roots: 'Quiero Creedence'

Like the recently released collection of Morrissey songs sung by Latin artists on the Mexrrissey compilation, Quiero Creedence explores another English-speaking artist beloved by Latin audiences. Josh Norek, co-host of the radio show The Latin Alternative, explains that middle-class Mexicans, among others, really embrace the music of Creedence Clearwater Revival. In this segment, Norek plays a few of the songs from this extremely fun collection, including covers by Los Lonely Boys and Juan Gabriel.
