Comedienne Jesenia Bailey and fellow Latino comedian Carlos A. Gonzalez recently produced a spoof of “La Cucaracha” as performed by Lady Gaga and Pitbull. In the video, below, the two singers are parodied for their grandiose and stylized performances, as the two “singers” sing the classic Mexican folklore song.
Bailey told us that she and Gonzalez collaborated on this project because, as Latino comedians, they frequently have to make their own projects. “We are two comedians with a passion to promote Latino Sketch Comedy in a bold new way so, because of this, given the lack of comedy opportunities that are available to the Latino community, we decided to create and produce our own comedy projects — including: sketch comedy shows, online videos and films,” Bailey said.
The YouTube video is below, and the song may be downloaded on iTunes or Amazon. What do you think?

This is pure brilliance! It’s rare to find original spoofs that actually make you laugh out loud – this is the perfect representation of Latino Sketch Comedy and I am so proud of Jesenia Bailey & Carlos Rodriguez!! I showed this to my entire team at work and they couldn’t believe how genius this was. “It was laugh out-loud-wipe-the-tears-off-your-cheeks-funny” said one of my coworkers. I cannot wait to see what else these two come up with! It’s definitely inspiring to the Latino community!
*Carlos Gonzalez! My apologies!
