Raza roots collective Los Cenzontles strip Bob Dylan’s Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man back to the basics (the lyrics) and then build it back up en estilo Latino.

Bob Dylan, Norteño-style: ‘It Must Be Santa’ (music video)
Who’s got a beard that’s long and white?
Santa’s got a beard that’s long and white

Must be Santa, must be Santa
Must be Santa, Santa Claus
(Listen closely as Bob Dylan lists Santa’s eight reindeer — names not in the official lyrics: “Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon; Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton”.)
