La Isla Bonita

About La Isla Bonita

"La Isla Bonita" is the fifth and final single from Madonna's third studio album, True Blue (1986). The song is noted for being the first Madonna song to contain Latin influences, with arrangements of Cuban drums and Spanish guitar, maracas, harmonicas, and a mix of synthesized and real drumming. The lyrics of the song tell about a (fictitious) "beautiful island" with the name San Pedro and, according to Madonna, was a tribute to the beauty of Latinos. .
