There are many things that are interesting in Mexico, some or like the places you can visit, the history, the music, the food and many more. I'm going to be telling you what a quinceañera is, the type of music they listen to and the food they make.

First let’s talk about “Quinceañeras”. Quinceañera is a teenage girl that is 15 years old. Many countries in Latin America celebrate a girl’s fifteenth birthday party in a very special way. The celebration begins with mass attended by the girl, her family, godparents, and her chambelanes (dance group). After the mass they go to the reception. The reception features food, music, and dancing. Some actions may include the presentation of a doll to a younger sister or cousin in the family, to show that she is giving up her childhood, when they place the high heels it indicates that she is ready for womanhood. Quinceañeras originally signified that the girl was ready for marriage but nowadays the parents just let them date. Quinceañeras also do a very special waltz with her chambelanes, she also has a daughter and father dance. She also gives away 15 red roses to impotent people in her life. I would love to have a Quinceañera. Would you like to have a Quinceañera?

Now let’s talk about the food. I really love Mexican/hispanic food. It's so good. Many of the foods of Mexico are complicated because of their relation to the social structure of the country. Meals prepared for certain dinners and certain occasions are when they are considered the most tasty. For the Day

of the Dead food such as tamales and mole are set at the altar it’s believed that the dead come and eat the food. In Mexico the main festival foods are mole, barbacoa, carnitas and mixiotes. Mexican original home cooking is different from the food they serve in most Mexican restaurants outside of Mexico. Mexican street food can include tacos, quesadillas, pambazos, tamales, huaraches, alambres, al pastor, and food not suitable to cook at home, including barbacoa, carnitas. All of the food tastes differently but is very good.I love when my mom makes tamales and I get to help her. One food that I love the most is tacos de al pastor with guacamole sauce. I never get tired of them. What food would you like to try?

Last but not least let’s talk about the types of music we like to listen to. Such as Mariachi, Banda, Norteño, Corridos, Reggaeton and many more. Mariachi is the first type of music when you think of Mexican music. Mariachi is typically played at Quinceañeras, weddings or on Mother’s Day. Ranchera music is said to have been born of a new national consciousness during the Mexican revolution. There are different types of music and you kinda never get tired of hearing them. Many people like Bad Bunny and not going to lie, he is the reggaeton singer in my opinion. What kind of music would you like to listen to?
