Any latino music fans?

(They are one of my all-time favorites -- someday I will see them live!)

I actually did not know that. And that's not too picky in my opinion--it's an inaccuracy to interchange spanish, latino, and for that matter hispanic. Good catch Tim.

I've heard a lot of Tigres del Norte's "Somos mas americanos" (We are more American) this past few weeks on the radio.

Los Tres... "Entre la espada y la pared"
early Shakira... "Pies descalsos"

I left Mexico the year before Suenos Liquidos was released. I've heard some of the songs, but not the whole album. I'll have to check it out.

Where did you serve? I was in Mazatlan, which then became Culiacan. Cabo was in my mish but I never got to serve there, or Mazatlan for that matter.

I was in a much less paradaisical mission -- Torreon. It's pretty much all desert with high heat and big dirt storms. And a few gandul missionaries that head to Mazatlan.
