One of the things I love about Mexico is this phenomenon that occurs on occasions. When we lived in Bucerias about an hour north of here, we had two neighbors, Juan and Maria. Juan was in his 90's and had lived through the revolution and would often talk about it. Every year on Juan's birthday, we would be woken up in the early morning by a Mariachi band. Maria would hire them to wake Juan on the morning of his birthday. It was an incredibly beautiful way to wake up in the morning and a beautiful gift.
This group began playing around 5:15 am this morning. They are still playing now as I write this at 9:45 am. They are not quite as wonderful as a full Mariachi group, just a drummer and an accordion player, but the accordion player is really good and knows enough songs to fill 4+ hours. I'm not sure what the occasion is but I suspect it is someone's birthday who loves music.
