Muerto bailando

It's el Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) today - mainly in Central and South America, especially Mexico...

... and to that end, how about a little bit of this?

Compañía Internacional de Danza "Fiestas de México" - El Son de La Negra

...or maybe, given the day's actual theme, this?!

Victor and the Bully - Danza De Los Muertos

¡Híjole!

¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!

The weather's all back-to-front again - hot and (sometimes) sunny during the week while we're chained to our desks, then damp and mizzly on the weekend. Typical bloody Britain.

Hey ho, here's something to cheer us all up - some perfect holiday music, courtesy of The Mariachis!

The Mariachis - Rhythm Of The Sun

Originally assembled as a combo in an advertising campaign for those awful cardboard-with-added-chilli tortilla "snacks" Doritos, they have apparently gone down a storm ever since as the inevitable "novelty act" at a succession of festivals, including Glastonbury!

Being a determined commercial-telly-ad-break-avoider, I had never previously heard of them. Until today, when Our Jen pointed me in the direction of this faboo cover - of The Human League...

The Mariachis - Don't You Want Me

¡Está increíble!
