Recently, a music video has gone viral in social networks because the ‘cumbia otaku lagunera’ has become infamous, in which the regional group Chicos de Barrio takes part.
The video shows characteristic places of Torreón and is accompanied by the song ‘Koisuru Fortune Cookie’ by the Japanese group AKB48, performed by Estrella Faya, better known as Cherry Gummy, a dedicated Lagunera ‘influencer’ aimed at Idol music groups.
According to Cherry Gummy, the inspiration for the video clip was making an adaptation of the song in Mexico, as it went viral after its premiere in 2013, making several adaptations in countries like China, Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia.
Drenching the lagoon spirit
The video featured the participation of Chicos de Barrio, because after Cherry told Gummy Dimas about the meaning of Idol, he was quite interested and immediately offered his support.
It was in 2018 when the song that Cherry Gummy presented for the first time at the Gómez Fair was recorded, while in 2019 the video was made to spread the genre of Japanese Idol in our country, referencing some of the most places symbolic of the lagoon.
