There was a song that made to the youtubes this week that caused a bit of sensation this week. The Red World army released the song “Chico is the man.” A nice little salsa-style dittie about our man Javier.
One little problem.
When I think of salsa and Mexico together, I get hungry and don’t necessarily think of music. The music is more Cuban than Mexican. And that’s fine.
But the Red World Army missed a huge opportunity here. Chicharito hails from Guadalajara, where mariachi music is the undisputed king.
And the best mariachi song in the world is
It would have been nice to hear a song that actually incorporates the music from the region where Javier is from. But I am a bit biased because I love Mariachi music.

Ay chicharito ay chicharito
Ay chicharito ay chicharito
Tienes el alma de un goleador
La metes con derechazos y cabezazos
eres mas rapido que todo el viento
y cuando saltas tocas el cielo
Ay chicharito ay chicharito
Ganas juegos con tus golazos
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
