La Pancha

Coldplay recorded La Pancha as part of their album Viva la vida, which was released in 2008. The song lasts two and a half minutes. The song's name is a nickname used in Mexico, and the album contains references to Frida Kahlo and the painting Naturaleza muerta: viva la vida. The group became interested in cultures and places different from the Anglo-Saxon world, such as Spain and Mexico, and this is evident in the music and the images. The album cover shows La Libertad, a symbolic figure.
