This Cinco de Mayo pick is fun, but not necessarily having to do with Mexico. Not that Cinco De Mayo really has much to do with Mexico either. It's become a holiday for all latinos in the US. Which makes this a little more appropriate. Cumbias were actually a Colombian thing, but appropriated by many Latin countries including Mexico. There are bands all over that play cumbias. These are some of my favorites. I do have a few on my Exitos series of comps that aren't on here. Maybe I will peel them off and add them to volume two. Exitos just means hits and I made one bad pun to start naming these and I stuck to it although it makes no grammatical sense in Spanish. Lo Siento. I'm sorry. That's just the way it is. Happy Cinco de Mayo anyway.
