I grew up on a street with a lot of Mexican families. In the Mexican culture, it's traditional to throw a 'Quincenera' party for girls when they turn 15, kind of half debutant ball / half bat mitsvah. They'd always have huge piles of awesome food, and a norteno/banda band would play during the daytime. As night fell and people got drunker, inevitably somebody's cousin would set up his decks and play this 80's electro-funk stuff (this during mid-to-late 80's) This mix is an attempt at recreating some of that vibe.
