A canción for Clinton

- — Christine Rushton

One political nod this week came with trumpets, accordion and violins. Clinton won a song and an endorsemen­t from famed Mexican ranchera singer Vicente “Chente” Fernandez, her latest snap-up of support from the Latino community.

“Queridos hermanos, su voz es su voto,” Fernandez says in a video — dear brothers, your voice is your vote. “Juntos se puede” — together we can.

The video flashes through clips of Clinton campaignin­g with Latino voters around the country, with Fernandez serenading in the background. The singer put the song together with the help of Latino Victory Project, a group whose political branch, Latino Victory Fund, endorsed Clinton in February.

He also takes a few swings at Trump, referring to the candidate’s insults directed at Mexico.

“A mi pueblo le dolió que alguien hiciera una ofenza,” he says — it hurt my people that someone offended us.
