My husband is "pro-Mariachi" too. We don't understand a word of Spanish, yet he insists we watch Univision and stuff. Anything Mexican or even Mexican-ish, he loves.
Know it and love it, my tio is in a mariachi band :) Love his songs about drunk men and heartaches!

OMG! I, too LOVE the Mariachi! I guess living in So Cal, can have that effect on you! *grins* I have no clue what they're singing about, but the music makes me want to dance and sing along.
As a child, I used to love watching the Spanish-speaking channels, because I loved how the language sounded. Plus, I believe you can get a pretty good idea of what was happening from the emotions of the actors. (*shhhh...don't tell....but in Junior High, I bought Toni Basil's "Mickey" in it's Spanish version, and had it until just a few years ago when it was destroyed.)
So anyhow, my daughter, who will be 7 in April, was channel-surfing last week on her TV, and stopped at the Spanish channel and was hooked for hours! I have NEVER told her about my love of the sound of the spanish language, even though I speak nary a word, or any of it. I laughed my butt off, and grinned, saying, "I guess some things are JUST genetic!" ROFLMAO!
Mariachi music isn't nearly as predominant here in Dallas, which is really a shame.
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
