Movies about Mexico-

Cucurrucucu Paloma was one of the favorites with the seasonal workers who came from interior Mexico. They would often break into these old songs and they had excellent voices. I will always remember that the fellow who always took the lead on this particular song was a little fellow named "Angel." He came up every year from the mountains and was probably more Indian than Spanish. He had a beautiful voice and was very likeable.

I joined in, but .... you don't want to hear me sing.

I sure do. Especially this song, I love it.

I wasn't in the mood for Mexican food today so instead of celebrating Cinco de Mayo, I celebrated Mayis Besinci at a Turkish restaurant (yay! some restaurants are open!).

OK, so there isn't any holiday called Mayis Besinci, but I celebrated anyway. If it kills me, I'll die with a smile on my face.
