Last week I had the multi-sensory pleasure of attending Unexpected Mexico here in NYC. The event, sponsored by Bohemia Beer, was a feast, literally, featuring three top Mexican chefs, drinks, and musica.
Upon entering Skylight Studio, an events space in West SoHo, I was greeted by modern Mexican art pulled from the vast FEMSA collection. Some of the artists featured included Ruffino Tamayo, Gerardo Murillo, Carlos Merida, Angel Zerraga and Pedro Coronel.
The features of the evening came via the chefs, Patricia Quintana, Rick Bayless and Monica Patino.
The food sampling were perfectly paied with the music of Mexican musical icon Eugenia Leon.
See photos, videos and the menu after the jump.
The Kennedy Center features Mariza and Eugenia Leon

Washington DC will be blessed later this month by two world music superstars in concert and just in time for Women’s History Month. Mariza & Eugenia Leon will be performing on March 23, 2007 at 7:30 pm at the Kennedy Center Concert hall.
Mariza has established herself as the new face of portuguese fado. Fado according to Wikipedia is:
Translated as destiny or fate. It is a music genre which can be traced from the 1820s in Portugal. It is characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor. Some enthusiasts claim that Fado’s origins are a mixture of African slave rhythms with the traditional music of Portuguese sailors and Arabic influence.
I have heard Mariza and her singing indeed is haunting and her roots, international. Mariza is a Mozambican. Her latest cd Transparente has been released in more than 35 countries around the world. Learn more about Mariza on her web site at www.mariza.com
