Notes on a culture displaced

Couldn't agree more. Why would we, Canadians and Americans, come to Mexico to listen to "American" or "commercial" music? We can listen to The Monkees, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles and other commercially canned music at home, on our iPods or in the loud bars. It is a shame that we talk about supporting the local Mexican culture and people and then we frequent the places that don't seem to allow the local musicians the ability to make a decent living.
Next time you're out for dinner if you hear commercial music or drum machines coming from the restaurant maybe you should reconsider where you spend your money.
Just a thought!
