Mariachi has a huge following in Japan, and the kids come over here and to Mexico to train.

The kids in Tucson who are involved with Mariachi are so talented. The music, the dancing, the costumes...I love it!!

When it comes to music, I welcome nearly everything. I have no problem with this decision.

I hate Linda Ronstadt’s politics, but love her music!! Especially from her Latina background.

Mariachi will accomplish that same function

No mariachi unless there is accordion and polka, as well!

No, wait! I think the local Texas high school already has accordion and polka...

Whatcha gonna do? build a 50 foot wall with machine gun nests?

I say welcome to Guadalupe and Oscar. Wheres the carne pastor?.

I don’t condone illegal immigration, but I do like our free borders.

Why does no one give a shit about the canadian border? Thats where the terrorists came in isnt it?

On wider point, you noticed that despite all the infrastructure and patrol that Mexican fellow slipped right through. So much for Gov oversight.
If every citizen on the border just used their eyes and a cell phone we would be better off.

MS 13 needs to be wiped out.
I got no real issues with regular folks looking to make a life

Mariachi has been part of Texas culture as long as there was a Texas.

Not exactly. Mariachi apparently dates from roughly the time of Maximilian, or about the time of our Civil War.

I love mariachi. It’s a wonderful thing. You can make part of a living doing mariachi.

Accordians are like bagpipes to me. They are best heard infrequently and at a distance. Having said that, let those who enjoy Mariachi music, enjoy it.

I had black beans and peppers. If my husband were here, he’d have done a pork roast, but he’s in Florida, the lucky dog!

Ooh, that’s a great collection. I think Emilio Navaira is just the cutest thing! And Flaco was a treasure. My husband plays flamenco guitar, and we have lots of flamenco recordings.

It seems like you enjoy a variety of Spanish-language music. You might like a CD by the Irish group The Chieftains, “Santiago.” Linda Ronstandt sings on one of the songs.

He’s with my parents (installing Mom’s new computer) and they’re from the Midwest. They did go out for barbecue one night :-(.

We’ve been practicing Cuban cooking since Fidel Castro had his intestinal infection, and when he’s muerte finalmente, we’ll invite all our friends for a Cuban party. My teenage daughter says she’ll write “Fidelito Muerto” on the street with chalk!
