2 weeks agoSalon Tenampa, the emblem of mariachi in Mexico City, celebrates its 100th anniversary
The legend goes that the singer Chavela Vargas and the actor Jose Alfredo Jimenez locked themselves away for three nights in Salon Tenampa, in northern Mexico City, drinking tequila and singing along to the musicians, who mingled with the patrons of the grand cantina. Many years later, on the night of Wednesday, November 19, a mariachi band begins to play one of Paquita la del Barrio's classics: Tres veces te engane (I cheated on you three times).
