¿Cuál Es La Razón? ( ft. @Natalia Lafourcade ) is now available on all streaming platforms! When folks heard the Ghost Train Orchestra arrangement on our song “What Is the Reason for It?”, I had a few people remark about how “it has a Mexican groove”. So, we approached Camilo Lara at Mexican Institute of Sound, whom I’ve known for years about doing a remix of the tune. The original version is a duet between myself and Hayley Williams, but Camilo and I thought about having those lines be sung in Spanish on this version, which Camilo turned into a wonderful cumbia. (Cumbia is a groove that originated with the Afro Columbian community and has since mutated and spread throughout Latin America- you can’t help dancing to it... the band and I recently saw an amazing cumbia band in New Orleans!) Who would that singer be? Well, not too long ago I joined one of my favorite artists in the whole world, Natalia Lafourcade, at her concert at Carnegie Hall. A dream come true for me. So, I approached her with the idea and not only did she agree, she wrote completely new lyrics for the Spanish verses (that are not simply translations of the previous English version). Beautiful. Another dream comes true! Enjoy.
