¡COMO MEXICO NO HAY DOS! Mexico's hsitory and culture, the Real, and the surreal, Mexico. Politics, economic, news sometimes here, but regularly posted at mexfiles.substack.com. Copy and quote freely, but be respectful, and acknowlege the source. And, of course, monetary donations help keep the site going.
These guys have been together forever, and have a pretty good gig going. Alas, the Mex Files has no musical talent, and can’t pick up a few pesos playing for the tourists, though we do have a tip jar (and depend on it for more than an occasional taco and refresco):
Your video made me miss San Blas, no-see-ums and all. When I last took a stroll on the San Blas beach in February it was dead quiet: no musicos, no ninos playing in the sand, no restaurants open. It was a pleasure to get another view of it, with people.
