I was down in Chumulco soaking in the hot springs where I met a man who told me the town of Cocula was 10 minutes away.. and is the birth place of the Mariachi. He told me I should go film.. I thought it was a good idea. All of a sudden he's calling the restaurant and making arrangements for a private table.Next thing I know I'm stuck in a restaurant where I'm the only foreigner stuck filming mariachis. The whole restaurant is staring at me and I can't grab the quick samples and leave because I'm obliged by the special table and courtesy.
Short and sweet.. always watch out for people doing you favors. I ended up leaving after a 100 pesos meal, when I could have eaten for 20 pesos up the street. But captured some good 8 & 16mm, so I'm grateful.
Apologize for the shit digital cam pic.
