Por nada, chica. I reckon your version of Espanol and mine are a little more sympatico than that comiong north through the *tissue curtain* along Texas and Arizona.

If you get a chance check out the music of Jenni Rivera, particularly her signature tune *La Chacalosa*

Hers may be the best of the bunch, and along with her father, Pedro Rivera, and her brothers Lupillo and Juan, is among the most traditional of the Mexican epic music of the narcotrafficantes, and, with full brass banda trumpet and horn section accompaniment, is likely that which would be most familiar to the Villistas y Carrancistas of the North of the early part of the last century.

And if you're interested in the music of the ongoing difficulties in Chechnya and other mildly obscure musical accompaniment to such things, just let me know.
