In addition, he warned that they will announce the news next Monday at a press conference broadcast by the social networks of the party, of liberal ideology.
Paquita la del Barrio is known for interpreting ranch songs and evocative titles, classified in the genre ‘hard and against them’ because they are aimed at men.
Among the songs the singer has put her stamp on are “Three times I fooled you”, “Two-legged rat”, “Women send”, “Old raboverde”, “Evil men”, and many others.
The most famous, “Two-legged rat”, is an anthem against men that Paquita stopped singing in the bars of the popular Colonia (neighborhood) Guerrero and went on to the big stages.
