Today, to close out Hispanic Heritage Month, Latin Grammy nominated family musician Sonia De Los Santos released her joyous new song ¡Fiesta, Fiesta!

¡Fiesta, Fiesta! is a celebration of life and a thank you letter dedicated to all the people who have inspired her musical journey. As Sonia tells the story of voyaging to New York and shares about her travels as an artist, she invites all to join her in looking back, encouraging us to be grateful for the years behind us.

¡Fiesta, Fiesta! was originally written for her original live show 'Fiesta con Sonia De Los Santos' that was commissioned by the New Victory Theater in New York City and which ran during the Spring of 2019.

LYRICS:

From a far away land, I came full of dreams
Crossed through the savanna, sharing my song
There are roads I have walked, and to all of those I've knownI dedicate the verses, that for them I've written

I came with my guitar all the way from Monterrey
Crossed rivers and mountains and up north I arrived
A winter welcomed me in New York
and from here I sing this Cumbia with love

To my friends; I am singing, we are playing everywhere
I go around the world on this journey
Collecting stories that I want to share with you

Drums are calling, with their beat they accompany us
Dance porro, move your skirt with your hat, dance this cumbia, hey
