GUEST,maryrrf Help: Cinco De Mayo play lists (25) RE: Help: Cinco De Mayo play lists 03 May 02


Juanita, it depends on your audience. Are they Mexican, Mexican American, Hispanic (assorted), or all gringos? I'll be playing at an Irish Pub but I may throw in "Cancion Mixteca" since it is 5 de mayo. If your audience is all gringo, how about something like "Cielito Lindo". It's about as overdone as "Danny Boy" on the Irish circuit but everybody will recognize it. By the way I don't mean "gringo" to be perjorative, just want to distinguish between Latins and "middle Americans" - in terms of whether or not they would understand Spanish lyrics or be familiar with some of the better known Mexican songs.
