Cinco de Mayo. A day to celebrate Mexican victory over the French with most excellent margaritas. And of course music. Much music.

Join me this morning as we travel south of the border for works ranging from colonial times, to the birth of Mexican nationalism in music, to pieces by contemporary Mexican composers and those in the United States who were influenced by Mexican culture.

We’ll have our mouth full of nachos from 6 and 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. The oranges with our mezcal will take care of the vitamin C, on Classic Ross Amico.
