Exitos

I know it is already past Hispanic Heritage month. Too bad. I will probably piss off a bunch of people with my next few posts. Sorry about that. Frankly, if I was going to remake these, I would probably do it differently. But here's the story. I DJ'ed in San Jose, California. I did many what you would call mixed weddings. Fused, merged, blended. It doesn't matter. A couple from two or more different cultures. I liked doing them. I like a wide variety of music. So this was my first pick to play some music popular in my area. Now, I didn't get it right. Should I have included salsa's and mariachi's in the same place? Probably not, although it worked for this time. Later I would add more variety in future volumes. I would not do that now. That being said. I love all these songs. Not appropriate in every case, but still good music. Turns out, for me, I like the Rancheras a lot. But also Cumbias and Nortenos and Banda, well a lot more too. Exitos, btw, means "Hits" when you talk about songs (successes when you aren't.) That will come into play over the next several volumes.
