Playlist prep

I'm getting more into my DJ work, spending time ahead of the event with playlists instead of putting songs up on the fly the way Mary French thought was best. This Cinco de Mayo theme is fun since I have collected Mexican music from many sources.
The lastest, by Thalia, is "Amor a la Mexicana", what I would call a Samba, but with the same beat as Selena's song "Baila este Cumbia."
Tin Tan sings what I call Foxtrot. As a classic Mexican crooner, he might have called it Danzon. My daughter-in-law brought the CD from Mexico when she first met Dave.
Then there's El Puma (visions of Mexican cougars), Jose Luis Rodriguez, actually Venezuelan, very smooth.
The polvorones have chocolate. The chips and salsa. Should be a good party.
