The White Stripes Have The Linguistic Skills Of, Like, A Latino Or Something
After flirting a little with Mexican and Spanish influenced sounds on their latest album, The White Stripes have decided to go all the way and release a Spanish-language single under the name “Las Rayas Blancas:”
Las Rayas Blancas is Spanish for (you guessed it) The White Stripes.
The Spanish song ‘Conquista’ is a Latino version of their current single ‘Conquest’.
Mexican trumpeter Regulo Aldama has been added for the new version to give it the Spanish feel.
We’re so happy! Now a “raya blanca” will mean something other than us when we’re running out of the shower really quickly, discovering much too late that we had neglected to switch the boiler on.
