Fans turned the streets of Moscow into a giant party on Saturday night ahead of Mexico vs. Germany, and with that came a familiar song ...
Mexico fans turned Moscow into one big party by playing ‘La Chona’
This is the best.


“La Chona,” by Los Tucanes de Tijuana is a song that elicits an immediate and excited response if you’re Mexican, and I asked Hector Diaz of SB Nation to explain why “La Chona” is so important.
“If you’re at a family party and ‘La Chona’ doesn’t play at least once for all your aunts and uncles partying, then it’s not really a party. At the very least, they’ll complain about it. It’s really one of those songs that signals the the apex of the party and everyone — adults and kids — get up from wherever they’re sitting to dance. If you grew up going to Mexican family parties, then this song will instantly transport you back to your childhood.”
So you have the perfect party song, going worldwide in the streets of Moscow, and hundreds of fans having the perfect, nostalgia-powered party ahead of one of the biggest games of the World Cup so far.
Sunday is going to be the best.
