Mariachi’s and Hip Hop

It doesn’t sound like these 2 words go in the same sentence but I have discovered that this is a new trend. Jason and I go to Los Barrios Mexican Restaurant, a local favorite, very often. We were there one night and of course, there are your traditional mariachi’s trying to sell songs to table after table. They found a table filled with all ladies. They were celebrating a birthday or something – it was girl’s night out. The mariachi’s found their gold mine! The mariachi’s begin playing and half way through the song, they mix it up and start singing “Apple Bottom Jeans” by Nelly. They would play hip hop and then finish it off mariachi style. I had never seen anything like it. Jason and I were laughing so hard. They kept going, song after song, mixing hip hop into their mariachi songs. The ladies LOVED it. Too bad I didn’t have my FLIP video camera.
About a month later, Jason and I joined my parents at Los Barrios for dinner. As usual, there was a mariachi band, a different one than from our last visit. I was telling my parents the story about the hip hop mariachi band. They were laughing. As I was telling them the story, the mariachi band there started mixing it up with hip hop. This time I had my FLIP video. Check it out. A guess this is a new trend?
