Un Grupo de Mexicali - The Hombre They Call TACO!

 We here at Big And Tall Records got a call from one of the members of Un Grupo de Mexicali informing us that the tour of the U.S. they had planned in late summer has been canceled. They weren't shy about telling us why either. They do not feel comfortable crossing the border right now because of the current administration's policy towards non-citizens, no matter if they are here legally or not. We had a long talk, but he was adamant. No crossing the border until things lighten up or change. 

We can't say that we blame them. We're sure that the group has all of their paperwork,passports, visas, and Border Crossing Cards up to date as they have been touring in this country for the past 5 years.  But that is little comfort once the actions of the current administration are considered. The group has always given a full itinerary of their tours, along with exact dates to leave the country and have never had an issue. But they won't take the chance now.

That was news that really bummed us out. We like the group and their music, a really friendly bunch who all speak English of varying qualities but quite understandable. But that doesn't mean they aren't sending us recordings! This latest from them The Hombre They Call TACO! is a jab at things the way they are, and we're happy to let their displeasure be known!  

Do amigos in the States have a new leader? 
We hear of him the other day from all the news feeder 
Who is the brand new man we no have heard of before? 
Is a strange name, por favore we hear it more and more? 
 
The hombre they call TACO, is he from Mexico?
 Is that his real name or not, we really want to know! 
Also call him orange chicken, but we don't know what it means? 
Is he Mexicanos, and like to eat pinto beans 
 
 Heard of the hombre Elon, leader of the doge army 
And someone name of Pedro, boss of the real army 
But who is orange chicken, it is a mystery? 
Is it just a nickname, or is it a secretary? 
 
The hombre they call TACO, is he a real thing 
The United States gets stranger, then we ever seen 
Trump is such a strange man, that we surely know 
But who is this hombre TACO, we want to know! 
 
 Does TACO work in tariffs, it would be very nice 
He knows what of he doing, Trump take his advise 
To tell him that commerce is for all of us too 
Not just for lining pockets of him, family too 
 
The hombre they call TACO, AYE, is Trump himself! 
There will be no advising, good he give himself! 
We know orange chicken, we know what it means 
He is no Mexicanos, and fool of pinto beans 
 
The hombre they call TACO, AYE, is Trump himself! 
Trump Always Chicken Out! All by himself! 
So he is orange chicken too, AYE, AYE, AYE AYE! 
We all can kiss our culo, BYE, BYE, BYE!!
