Do you like Mexican music??

Listened to some Los Lobos and some Los Lost Boys last night and confirmed that I still don't care for Mexican music.

I like live Mexican folk music with the horns and guitars.  Not so much at home, recorded.  There are a couple of songs by Tito and Tarantula on the "From Dusk till Dawn" soundtrack I like.  If you like the movie, the soundtrack is excellent.  Sort of R+ rated dialogue from the movie - warning for  uhhh..  more sensitive people.

 "I like first(in the U.S.) generation Mexican musicians like Jerry Garcia and Carlos Santana.  Does that qualify?

Nope, The Dead don't dance. At least not to flamenco music. :-)

This lady does though:

I saw her perform this live at Universal City. An amazing concert backed by the best big band brought up from Mexico City.

I like some Mexican music and I like a lot of flamenco--but I don't connect the two.  Mariachi and flamenco are two different styles, two different traditions.

I like Calexico. Excellent indie rock band, check them out if you're not familiar.
