MIJA NO TE ASUSTES

MIJA NO TE ASUSTES

Album ∙ Música Mexicana ∙ 2025

Clave Especial

Signed to Fuerza Regida lead singer Jesús Ortíz Paz’s Street Mob Records, Clave Especial swiftly began making their name with singles like “Kalashnikov.” Befitting their label’s name, the rising California act’s brand of corridos adheres to a certain sensibility, evident throughout Mija, No Te Asustes. The album collects some of their previously released material with an ample amount of new recordings that keeps the same energy. Business and pleasure blur together on “Caravana” and “Tú Tú Tú,” coming together in a strange balance for “Happy.” When that attitude tips towards a purer romantic longing on “Ay Mija,” it offers greater insight into their inherent talents.

Naturally, their music industry benefactor JOP comes through for a couple of Fuerza Regida collabs, including the characteristically solid “Como Capo.” Luis R Conriquez makes two appearances here as well, first on the opener “Ni Modo Que No” and later on their prior hit “No Son Doritos.” Similarly, the defiantly debauched “Pasaportes” finds them re-teamed with “Tu Coquette” cohorts Los Dareyes De La Sierra.
