(Written as it was happening.)
Casa Rosa, Centro Histórico, Morelia Mexico: 3:00 a.m.
I was lying awake, turning over in bed, when I heard some people enter the Casa Rosa compound. I figured it was just some people getting home from a night on the town.
SUPRISE!!!! Suddenly, right across from our bedroom window, a small group of mariachis launched into "Las Mañanitas"; trumpet, bass, guitar and violin. I was waking up anyway and might as well enjoy it.
It's a small, not very polished group playing, but apparently, they all are having a good time. (They DO need to get a new end of line lick, though. :-)
They are still singing, and yes; they do punctuate their singing with those shrill little whoops, just like in the movies Hey! They just did it again: ¡Jey! ¡JiiiiiiiiiY! ¡Juy juy juy! (Or something to that effect.)
(There's that end lick again.) There may be a way to record this from the Mac...
I tried, but the mic is to far away from the players. If I had my camera...But I don't.
The Tequila may be freely flowing, as the singing is becoming less coherent and the playing is deteriorating. I wonder if they'll eat menudo when they finish.
That's all for now, here in Morelia Mariachiville.
