Yeah, I'd always assumed Herb Alpert was Mexican but checking Wikipedia I find that he was born in Los Angeles to Jewish Ukrainian parents. These two are definitely Mexican:

Didn't know that, but I posted the song because of the band being called 'Tijuana Brass' (and then the song title). Disappointingly, there's no separate section for the band itself and its members in Wiki, but it does say

"Alpert ... took a break to visit a bullfight in Tijuana, Mexico. As (he) later recounted, "That's when it hit me! Something in the excitement of the crowd, the traditional mariachi music, the trumpet call heralding the start of the fight, the yelling, the snorting of the bulls, it all clicked."[22]

(Maybe I might have liked his music a bit less if I'd known from the beginning it was so influenced by bullfighting ...)

Never heard that before, very cute.

Anyone who has ever travelled on a bus in Central America up until a decade ago will no doubt be familiar, over familiar even, with this:



Although Jiménez was born in San Antonio, Texas perhaps he felt like Eva Longoria (who classes herself 'Texican') that the border moved across him and other people of Mexican descent rather than Mexicans moving across the border.

Edit -The link sometimes shows as expired or broken - for info, the song was 'Sunny Side of the Street', in a recording also by Herb Alpert.
