This is mariachi like you’ve never heard before - La Cigarra (The Cicada) is a metal cover of a traditional Mexican song, originally written by Raymundo Pérez Y Soto and popularized by Linda Ronstadt. The lyrics represent a singer’s incredible passion for her craft. Her love of singing is so powerful that she’s willing to die for it, just as the cicada (cigarra). This adapted version, arranged by Jose Trinidad Gálvez, features guest vocalist Reed Alton of melodic metal band Osyron, violinists Daniel Saldarriaga Tobón and James Watson, performing mariachi-style melodies.

BANDCAMP: https://cabrakaan.bandcamp.com/ APPLE MUSIC:   / cabraka%c3%a4n   INSTAGRAM:   / cabrakaan_band   FACEBOOK:   / cabrakaan   WEBSITE: www.cabrakaan.com CABRAKAÄN (kab-ra-kahn): Mexican-Canadian symphonic folk metallers Cabrakaän are breaking barriers and forging new genre-bending paths in the international metal scene. Founded in 2011, drummer Marko Cipäktli and classically trained soprano vocalist Pat Cuikani sought to fuse the pre-hispanic and rich folkloric elements of Mexican folk music with heavy metal. Drawing on instruments, melodies, mythologies, and oral histories of their ancestral Mexica (pronounced “mesh-eek-ah“) people, the band tells powerful, evocative stories that transcend language and culture. Cabrakaän have released two EPs: Songs from Anahuac (2013) and Cem Anahuac My Home (2019). Their upcoming LP, Aztlán, is their most ambitious release to date and will be available on streaming platforms everywhere on November 17th, 2023.
