Destiny Worship has a gift tree for Alzheimer patients and I picked one that asks for Mexican Music. I have no idea where to get a couple CDs, probably standards that are familiar. :idontno:Wal-mart does not carry, which surprised me. I need it by this week end dead line. Thanks and Merry Merry Shopping local!:clap:

I'd try that little Mexican grocery and deli over by Jambone's BBQ. If they don't stock something like that, they could probably tell you who in the area would.

Gipsy Kings can be found most places and they're awesome. :wub: Probably in Wal-mart in the regular rock section.

And before any smarty pants tell me I've misspelled gypsy, this is the way the band spells it.

Does B&N still have a World Music section? I know they got rid of lot of their CDs a while back.

But Borders at Pier Park in PCB does have a couple of stations set up where you can download and burn your own legal mix CD and you should easily find a lot of Latin stuff doing that. You'd just have to come up with something pretty on your own for the CD case decoration.

I haven't been there in quite awhile. Thanks for the heads up:wave:

The Mexican grocery next to Jambones has a nice selection of Mexican CDs. The Gypsy Kings is not Mexican music; it's Spanish music played by Belgian musicians.

Thank you all for your help!

Thank you!:clap: Everyone! I got a nice Christmas CD and some Mexican cookies to give there. It was hard to explain what I needed as no one in there spoke English, until finally I met the owner. Lovely gal German and Paola. I have since heard that their little food bar in back makes the best Mexican food. Certainly will give it a try soon.:wave: Kassie

They are not Belgian - actually, they are Spanish born in France. I personally would classify their music a Latin influenced, not true, pure Mexican music. :wave:

Now that's "World Music"

I stand corrected. Their over-wrought, pained vocals grate on my nerves after a while. Their music is definitely Latin, but not Mexican.

I haven't listened to them in over 10 years myself - probably for the same reason.
