David Byrne has shared a playlist dedicated to Mexican music ahead of a five-show run through the country beginning on Friday.
Part of the former Talking Heads frontman’s David Byrne Radio series, the playlist brings together music from Peso Pluma, Natalia Lafourcade, Café Tacvba, Silvana Estrada, Mabe Fratti, Carla Morrison, Julieta Venegas, Natanael Cano, Son Rompe Pera, Mexican Institute of Sound, Ceci Bastida, and Los Ángeles Azules, among others.
Chilean artists Mon Laferte and Francisca Valenzuela also make appearances.
Byrne recently collaborated earlier this year with Lafourcade and Mexican Institute of Sound on “¿Cuál Es La Razón?,” a Spanish-language reworking of “What Is the Reason for It?,” from his 2025 album Who Is the Sky?
The musician is currently touring behind Who Is the Sky? and will play three consecutive nights at Mexico City’s Teatro Metropólitan on September 4th, 5th, and 6th. He’ll then head to Guadalajara’s Auditorio Telmex on September 8th before wrapping the Mexican run at Monterrey’s Escenario GNP Seguros on September 10th.
