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
