earnestly on the Summer of Cumbia album with one simple mantra: Keep
it stupid, Stupid. Have a good time and don't stress about anything.
Take the path of least resistance and just enjoy the flow. It's about love, dancing and enjoyment. Don't over think it,
don't over analyze it. It is what it is: English, Spanish, French;
Cumbia, Rock, Reggae, Disco, Blues, Rap, experimental. free style; familia,
cultura, arte; American, Mexican, Chicano, Californian, Angelino.

"Taco Tuesdays" is an ode to the
Midnight Ridazz: Taco Tuesdays Bicycle Club in
Los Angeles, CA. The song
pays homage in English and Spanish to the beauty of Southern
California and the ability to take pleasure in simple, free joys
such as riding your bicycle to the beach with your friends, but most
importantly, "Taco Tuesdays" is a catchy Southern California cumbia
that makes you wanna dance.
