Mexican music .... it's great for about five minutes but no longer ... maybe an hour if you're drunk.

It's the horns that do it for me ... the Mexican horn in music sounds fun for a minute or two but after that its like listening to Bluegrass or Old Old country where everyone is singing out their nose to a tune that will just never end (or else feels like it will never end).

But I've also attended a few Semana Santa (Holy Week) celebrations in Malaga Spain many years ago ... it's their Easter celebrations which features dozens of churches that go marching with their congregation through the city, led by a marching band with those same type of tinny Mexican horns - hundreds of them! All playing at the same time to the march of beating drums, surrounded by millions of people in crowded streets. For hours and hours all day and into the early hours of the morning.

It's quite the sight and experience ... Mexican horns, war drums, bloody Jesus on the cross, weeping Mother Mary, priests, women in black dresses, alter boys and girls and these guys .....
