Considered by many as one of Mexico’s most sacred places, la Basílica de Guadalupe — the spot where legend says the Juan Diego first encountered la virgen de Guadalupe, Mexico’s patron — was the site of a farewell to Spanish music icon Rocío Dúrcal.
From El Universal:
Among cheers, ovations and nostalgic mariachi music, the urn containing part of the ashes of singer Rocío Dúrcal arrived at the Basílica de Guadalupe, her final resting place and where homage was paid to her this afternoon in the atrium.
Her husband, Junior and her daughter Carmen placed the urn with the Spanish singers ashes in the atrium of the basilica so that close to 1000 fans could pay their last respects, an homage that was truly moving for the family.
Latino techno? You’re kidding!

As evidence of the fact that mainstream media continues to see Latinos as retrograde, this snippet from a very “surprised” article about the Latino techno movement:
Electronic and Latin music would seem to reside at polar ends of the music spectrum. One is precise, the other passionate. One is the brutalist Bauhaus beats of Kraftwerk, the other is the languid romanticism of the Buena Vista Social Club.
Why Buena Vista Social Club? Why is that the quintessential “Latin music”?
