Thanks for bringing it to my attention! I know what you mean about Cinco de Mayo ("It's a day when we're ALL Mexicans!"), but I love Mexican guitar music. Any excuse to break out baby Raimundo and fudge my way through some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you blame them for hating the French? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Iverson Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I lived in Mexico for a year and a half in 1984 or so - in Ciudad Juarez, back before you had to dodge bullets on a daily basis... and went to school in El Paso during the day. I love the Mexican people, but don't really like ranchero music. Sometimes though, if I go eat huevos rancheros or tacos at local Mexican restaurants, I am exposed to it. That's cool - to the regulars, it's a little piece of THEIR country, and they're entitled to it! My wife is Colombian, and she's about as Mexican as I am Chinese, LOL!
