Laura León, Mexican queen of Cumbia, covers Madonna's 'Material Girl'

[PokemonSpears]

Mexican singer and actress Laura León "La Tesorito", has been featured on Tropikal Forever's latest single En Materia de Amor, a Spanish cover of Madonna's Material Girl.

The song was recorded a few years ago but it's getting a proper release only now.

The music video premieres today:

 

 

Laura León, 68, has already been featured on another Tropikal Forever track Lo Menea, in 2014, a tropical cover of 80's hit Maniac, mostly known from the Flashdance movie.  

 

Last year she also covered Karol G's Tusa in a collaboration with DJ León Leiden. 

 

I know she's not for everyone  and you probably won't get it if you're outside of Mexico or some Latin countries that know her, but she was very popular for her tropical music in the 80's and 90's, her peculiar way of singing as well as her exaggerated acting in telenovelas. Her music is played at every party and wedding, especially her hits La Abusadora and Suavecito, Suavecito. She's very funny in interviews and is just very lovely in general, with her peers and fans alike. She always makes fun of herself, her singing style and even jokes about all the surgery she's had, she's very honest and non-pretentious.
