Hola, music fans.
The bad news is, it is Monday again—but don’t let it get you down—today is also Cinco de Mayo!
What does that mean?
It means that you have a reason to organize a fabulous fiesta to celebrate this Monday with great music, food and fun.
What’s all the fuss about? Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday dating back to 1862. The day is a celebration of General Ignacio Zaragoza’s victory over French forces in the Battle of Puebla.
Of course, you don’t have to live in Mexico to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Many people throughout the world celebrate the Irish holiday St. Patrick’s Day, even if they’re not Irish. The same is true of Cinco de Mayo. Think of it as a day to celebrate your heritage, or to learn about a new culture—and have fun at the same time.
Since this is the internet, we can’t really make you dinner (sorry, ha ha), but we can point you in the direction of some awesome easy Mexican recipes, here.
