Has there been a Mariachi Prom. I reckon it would make for great radio.
Especially if they had it on a Tuesday.

I've ben listening to a bit of Joan Baez over the last few days and thought I would celebrate Mexican Tuesday this week with this fine piece of film of her from a while back.

La Sonora Santanera played live from Maida vale on Cerys' show a couple of weeks ago, and then KT picked up on them for Music Planet last Saturday. Seems that they've been on the go for sixty-eight years playing their big band sound.
Happy Mexican Tuesday.

It is Tuesday as far as I can make out, and I've been listening to an Arhoolie compilation on Spot-u-like and this one by Hermanas Cantu caught my fancy - lovely bit of Tejano, great accordion and great vocals. Happy Mexican Tuesday.

A Mexican cover by Juan Gabriel of a Creedence Clearwater song...? Does that count? REally
Well, when it's called Have You Ever Seen the Rain and it hasnt stopped raining here since November then I think so...

I've been listening to a lot of Ry recently, Global, after a pal pointed me towards this video where the commentator gives a fine run through of Ry's life and career and back catalogue. It's 40 minutes, but I found it very interesting indeed.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
And re Wim Wenders, can I heartily recommend his new film 'Perfect Days', set in Tokyo if it's in a picture house anywhere near you.Comment

Betto Arcos, who often leads us on a road trip in the Americas, was in the studio with Lopa for this week's 'Music Planet', playing a bit of musical ping pong. I particularly enjoyed his opening pick from Tlacuatzin Son Huasteco and when I went looking found this great bit of film of the quartet. Some full on howling and fiddle playing going on. It does take a minute to get through the intro but worth the wait. This is 'El Sacamandú'.
Happy Mexican Tuesday.

Vicente Fernández - 'El Palenque'. Just what a Mexican Tuesday might sound like, in my opinion.

A wee bit Harry, from his final film, just because it's Mexican Tuesday.
