2008 Cinco De Mayo Concerts

The Cinco de Mayo weekend is here and there are a number of concerts that might be just the ticket for those looking for a musical way to celebrate the holiday - or for those who are just looking for any excuse to hear some great music. Here are some options:

• Big Rock Casino Fiesta De Mayo (Espanola, NM)
• Cinco De Mayo Celebration: Antologia De Un Charro (Albuquerque, NM)
• Mariachi Los Camperos (San Diego, CA)
• Celebracion 5 De Mayo (Chicago, IL)
• Al Hurricane - Cinco de Mayo Celebration (Albuquerque, NM)
• Los Tucanes De Tijuana (San Jacinto, CA)

But since there can hardly be a Cinco de Mayo celebration without music, there are a lot of places you can go to hear your favorite Mexican music that are not officially 'concerts'. Most of these events are local, so I'm going to turn you over to the About.com guides who can direct you to fiestas in your neck of the woods.
