Jimmy Humilde Presenta Lo Mejor De Las Calles, Vol. 1
Various Artists
Lo Mejor De Las Calles, Vol. 1 pulls rising artists off the streets and into the spotlight, while also throwing in a few well-known ringers. It’s a densely packed showcase for a new wave of corridos bubbling up from both sides of the border, introducing storytellers who flip between unflinching grit, hedonistic thrills, and lyrical evocations of everyday life. And the music ranges just as widely, whether you’re hunting for punchy fun (“Soy Merkdo” by Ladera Boyz) or raw beauty (“El Gallito” by Los De Guamuchil).
