Los Lobos is one of the bands featured on Quiero Creedence.

Like the recently released collection of Morrissey songs sung by Latin artists on the Mexrrissey compilation, Quiero Creedence explores another English-speaking artist beloved by Latin audiences. Josh Norek, co-host of the radio show The Latin Alternative, explains that working-class Mexicans, among others, really embrace the music of Creedence Clearwater Revival. In this segment, Norek plays a few of the songs from this extremely fun collection, including covers by Los Lonely Boys and Juan Gabriel.

Hear the complete album for a limited time on NPR Music's First Listen.
