Stylish Western songs to listen to at lunch (11–20)

Me Muero, Me MueroMoncho

Bolero, one of the mainstream Latin genres.

Moncho is a figure who could be called the king of bolero, and with his rich, full-bodied vocals and expressive power, he has left behind many masterpieces.

Among his works, a bolero classic I especially recommend is “Me Muero, Me Muero.” The sultriness of bolero combined with Latin’s vibrant rhythms is perfect for anyone who wants to make their everyday lunchtime feel a bit more luxurious.
