"La Llorona," commemorates a tragic and frightening Mexican folkloric figure.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Llorona

There was a scene in the film "Frida" in which the artist has a vision of La Llorona after a night of drinking. Chavela Vargas, who is seen singing the song in the film, was actually a close friend of the late Frida Kahlo in real life.

There is a more light-hearted rendition of La Llorona in Disney's "Coco", which takes place on the Day of the Dead.
