"Cali, Cali, Cali" Alyssa Bernal

"Cali, Cali, Cali" is a 2010 pop song about California by singer/songwriter Alyssa Bernal.

Bernal, an acoustic YouTube sensation, recorded "Cali, Cali, Cali" after catching the attention of superstar producer Pharrell Williams and then being signed by Interscope Records in Los Angeles.

Not bad for a teenager from San Antonio, Texas who taught herself how to play guitar.

Alyssa Bernal's catchy California song was featured on the NBC television show Undercovers just days ago, and the video for the single is a smash on YouTube and VEVO.

"Cali, Cali, Cali" is about a Texas girl who visits the Golden State, falls in love with a California boy, returns home to her job as a truck stop waitress, then wants to go back after seeing a California hippiechick and receiving a postcard from her 'beach boy' in Cali.

Alyssa Bernal is being widely compared to Tejano legend Selena, due to her stunning Latina beauty, her youth, her R&B-styled vocals, and her being from San Antonio. 

What's more, Bernal's father was a member of a popular Tejano band --- just like Selena's dad was.

One of my favorite California songs, "Cali, Cali, Cali" is an instant classic which will surely be covered by other recording artists in the future.  Very cool.  Very catchy.  I love it!  Two points for Alyssa Bernal.
