Song Facts: Mento Buru's popular cover of “La Murga de Panamá” was originally recorded in 1971 by the legendary salsa duo of Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe. And though “La Murga” is actually the name for a group that assembles to dance, sing, and play music during another South American holiday - Carnival – the spirit of the song is no less infectious at Christmastime. Mento Buru recorded their version at Buck Owens Studios in Oildale, CA just prior to its closing. The studio is now owned and occupied by the band KORN. “La Murga” now available for download and/or streaming at Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, Google Play, YouTube, Amazon Music. 💃🏽🕺🏽 . . . . . . . . #mentoburu #lamurga #lamurgadepanama #bakersfieldmusic #kerncountymusic #thesoundofsomethingbetter #bestofbakersfield #beinbakersfield #buckowensstudio #kornstudio (at Bakersfield, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5JOv9JA8pH/?igshid=c7ke4cqnvmsr
