July 4th Playlist: Songs to Keep Your Independence Day Party or Barbecue Bumping All Night
Though spending time with loved ones, eating delicious food and watching the fireworks are some of the best parts of Fourth of July, don't forget the music. Sometimes when you have so many other things on your mind, you might forget this detail. Don't worry, Latin Post has got you covered with new and old tracks from many different genres to play at your party:
1. Iggy Azalea's "Fancy"
Let's start off with this one because chances are this song is still stuck in your head. And it'll definitely get the party going.
2. Ana Tijoux's "Vengo"
Ana Tijoux raps in Spanish, and this toe-tapping tune is a little more mellow than others but not enough that your party will lose its energy.
