“Kiko and the Lavender Moon” by Los Lobos

"Kiko and the Lavender Moon" comes from Kiko, the album Los Lobos released in 1992, and shares its name with the record. David Hidalgo and Louie Pérez wrote it, and Tchad Blake engineered and mixed it, with John Paterno and Dan Bosworth assisting.

It plays like a lullaby slipping into a fever dream, hazy and a little eerie, the kind of song that sounds half-remembered even the first time you hear it.
