Adrian Quesada, feat. iLe – "Mentiras Con Cariño" (Weekly Music Roundup)

Guitarist and producer Adrian Quesada co-founded the Grammy-nominated soul band Black Pumas, but he’s a lifelong fan of the balada music of the late 60s/early 70s. Combining the arch romanticism of the Mexican bolero with the psychedelic sounds of 60s rock, balada was a strange brew of the lovelorn and the sultry, and Quesada has just released this single called, “Mentiras Con Cariño,” or “lies with love.” The guest singer is iLe, the Puerto Rican vocalist who began with her brothers in the rap group Calle 13 and has now embarked on her own reclamation project of earlier Latin American song forms. The song and video for "Mentiras Con Cariño," by Adrian Quesada are part of our Weekly Music Roundup.
