¡viva el cinco de mayo!


Happy cinco de Mayo y'all!

Funnily enough Los Angeles and San Antonio, the two cities I've lived in most extensively during my 20 years of life, have been extremely influenced by Mexican-American culture. I've seriously been listening to Tejano and Mariachi music all. day. long. which is stuff my dad, yes my Japanese-American doctor dad, made us listen to a lot when we moved to Texas. (Think Linda Ronstadt: Canciones de mi Padre.) Good stuff.

Here is a mariachi tune I can't get out of my head. It seriously makes me want to head down to Olvera Street and fiesta! If you get a chance to go to Olvera street it is truly an authentic Mexican-Angeleno experience.
