#415: Xenia Rubinos, "Mexican Chef" (2016)

Where disco music encourages athletic, flashy, gracefully stylized dancing --  y'all's Facebook suggestions from my Gloria Gaynor post have been much appreciated, and even caused three small transfers of money from me to iTunes -- I personally feel more comfortable moving to beats that encourage a bit more stomping, a bit more herky-jerkiness, or just some more straightforward swagger. "Mexican Chef" is from the second album by Xenia Rubinos. While she generally suggests to me what Bjork might have been like as a rowdy young NYC Latina whose Dad for some reason collected Emerson Lake & Palmer records [example]), this marks her first direct foray into just that kind of dance energy.
