I don't know about the rest of you who live in socialist utopia states, but Cinco De Mayo is a pretty big deal in Texas. We love a good excuse to eat Tex-Mex and drink margaritas. Today is a bonus for me since I'm a smart-ass know-it-all and I can spend the day correcting people who think today is Mexican Independence Day.
Although my tastes in music lie primarily with 70's progressive rock, I'm also a huge fan of mariachi music. Here's what I'm listening to dotay.
First is The Mariachi Ghost, by far the best mariachi band in Manitoba, Canada. They sound like I imagine Pink Floyd would have sounded if they were a mariachi band.

Next is Mariachi El Bronx. The Bronx is a hardcore punk band out of LA. Back in 2008 they released an album of mariachi songs as Mariachi El Bronx. I figured it was just a gimmick, but they take their mariachi alter-ego very seriously.

Happy Cinco everyone. Don't drink too much tequila.
