The Underdogs

"The Underdogs" is the literal translation of Los De Abajo, the Mexican band who first became known outside Mexico when David Byrne signed them to his Luaka Bop label in the late 1990s. Their music contains what Dana might call all kinds of everything (don't panic, that is not a clue to the identity of today's YouTube clip).

"La Sonidera" - Los De Abajo

"Si Existe Ese Lugar" - Los De Abajo

"La Sonidera" comes from their album "LDA V The Lunatics" which also contains a rather natty version of this old favourite. They even managed to get Neville Staples to join them.

  1. After listening to La Sonidera I wasn't too hopeful about the next track, but it's in a different league. And praise-the-sweet-lord for No Dana
