Mix Tape Swap

I was invited by the lovely Miss 'A Cup Full of Sunshine' to join up for a mixtape swap (as offered on her blog). Of course I wanted in... and as soon as I thought about what to share, Mexi music came to mind. I don't think there's any other music that stirs my soul so well. I appreciate a wide variety of music, but the spanish guitar, whether paired with horns (Gypsy Kings), jazzy sounding piano (Buena Vista Social Club), or uses rhythm guitar to basically act as drums (hello Rodrigo Y Gabriella), it just stirs wtihin.
The mix I'm about to send off is one I've sent off a couple of other times in swap packages, with minor tweaks each time. I started day dreaming of Mexico again as I'm listening. I wanna up and leave right now! Gimmie some bright colors, cool pottery, embroidered and leather goods, awesome music, and food that I could easily eat for every meal (tacos tonight Anne?) haha.
Here's the last time I was in Mexico, celebrating my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary. I'm ready to walk into my room and load a suitcase RIGHT now... seriously! Let's go!

A couple of my favorite bands
