Did you know, Cinco de Mayo isnt Mexicos independence, but rather a single battle that was fought near the city of Puebla when the Mexican army defeated the French? Although Mexico went on to lose the war, history marks it as a pretty big deal considering how outnumbered and ill-equipped the Mexican army was. Also, oddly enough, folks down in Mexico dont particularly celebrate the holiday outside of Puebla. Meanwhile America goes big. We can chalk that up to commercialization, another excuse for a drinking holiday, Chicano pride, or perhaps America just loves a good ol narrative around French-defying underdogs. For us, we simply wanna play a multicultural fusion of Hispanic music, create a beautiful melting pot and watch all you lovely people dance.
