Music has always been in my family in one way or another. In their youth, my grandpa and his brothers used to gather around to play the guitar and sing songs (and they still do some times). Today, when I think of my grandpa I think of a man happily singing and whistling as he performs his daily chores. My mother is currently part of our church's choir and my fourteen-year-old cousin has been playing the drums since he was three. I once tried to play his drums, but it was a futile effort. My experience with musical instruments is limited to having played the recorder in 4th and 5th grade (I think). However, although I'm not a talented musician, I do enjoy listening to, and espceially dancing to, music (and sometimes singing in the shower, too). For the most part I listen to music in Spanish (almost everything - pop, merengue, norteña, duranguense, cumbias, balads, and more). As for the dancing part, I like to dance at parties and clubs; I was also on the dance team in high school.

Would you like to bring in a piece of Mexican music and talk about it? You could dance to it and explain how music and dance are important to Mexican American culture and why.
I would definitely like to present a piece of Mexican music, but I think I will reserve my dancing for parties :)
