MEXRRISSEY

Mexico Goes Morrissey

Saturday 25 April 2014 / 19:30, Barbican Hall

Tickets: £15-25



Delving into Mexico's unlikely obsession for all-things-Morrissey, Mexico City-based DJ and producer Camilo Lara, founder of the electronic music project Mexican Institute of Sound (M.I.S.), together with bandleader Sergio Mendoza (Orkesta Mendoza/Calexico) has assembled a super-group of Mexico's leading contemporary musicians, paying homage to the iconic Smiths frontman. Through M.I.S., Lara has developed a reputation for blending traditional music with more modern sounds and this performance will explore the relationship between Mexico and Morrissey, reinventing his work with brass, accordion and other Mexican elements. His songs of love, loss and longing, with powerful imagery and metaphors have found a huge audience and chimed with generations raised on rancheras and mariachis. The show builds on the success of previous Barbican performances which La Linea Festival have undertaken with Mexican musicians, including Spanish Bombs - Tropical Tribute to the Clash, Viva el Mariachi and Mexico vs. The Balkans Brass Band Battle.

Viva Mexico, Morrissey and Easter Weekend!

Cerys plays Easter-themed tunes and finds out more about La Linea, a festival celebrating Latin Music which, in its fifteenth year, has a particular focus on Mexico...and Morrissey!

She chats to festival director Andy Wood, who explains that, in Mexico, Morrissey's songs of love, loss and longing, reach a big audience and have chimed with generations raised on rancheras and mariachis.

Re: 6 Music Cerys discusses Latino Festival and Mexrissey

Why has this been moved from main news forum? Discussions about Morrissey on UK radio playing covers of Morrissey songs constitute Morrissey news in my humbles.

Seriously have a look at some of the utter shite you allow to be posted there.



This is what I mean by the baffling editorial control.

Happy Easter. I'm going to commemorate Jesus's comeback by eating a lightly spiced hot cross bun

Mexrrissey: Mexico Loves Morrissey - BAM

WNYC’s John Schaefer hosts an evening of songs by Morrissey – both from his solo career and his years with The Smiths – arranged and played by some of Mexico’s finest musicians, including Camilo Lara’s hit electronic music project Mexican Institute of Sound. Morrissey has mentioned Mexico in several songs, and the love affair goes both ways. Perhaps this is because several generations of Mexicans, facing economic challenges, connect with the way Morrissey’s songs reflect the depression of Manchester during the 1980s. Whatever the reason, Morrissey’s songs of love, loss, and longing have found a huge audience south of the border. Featuring compositions by Sergio Mendoza (Orkesta Mendoza/Calexico) courtesy of Morrissey, this all-star band sounds like a brass- and accordion-led combo from the smallest village with the biggest bleeding heart.
