The White Stripes Go Spanish For New Single

Rock duo THE WHITE STRIPES are to release their first Spanish-language single – a reworking of their song CONQUEST.

Conquista will be issued in the U.S. on CD and seven-inch vinyl under the name Las Rayas Blancas – the Spanish translation of The White Stripes – on 19 February (08).

The new Conquista release will feature a mariachi version of the song, Conquest (Versisn Aczstica De Mariachi), as a B-side.

A statement reads: “Conquista is a blistering nouveau flamenco number that climaxes in a violent musical battle between Mexican trumpeter Regulo Aldama and Jack White in his fastest solo on record.”
