To all who celebrate the holiday across the globe, Happy Cinco de Mayo!
For those unfamiliar with the day itself, it’s an annual celebration which commemorates the anniversary of Mexicos’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
Here’s a (very) brief explanation as to why Mexicans around the world celebrate Cinco de Mayo:
The day is celebrated in the state of Puebla with parades, speeches, and reenactments of the battle, though it is not much noticed in most of the rest of the country.
It has become a very popular day in the United States, among Americans and Mexican immigrants, who take pride in their heritage.
Cinco de Mayo is not to be confused with Mexican Independence Day, which falls on September 16th.
Mientras celebramos el Cinco de mayo, les deseamos toda la felicidad del mundo. ¡No dejen que nada les impida beber, comer y disfrutar de la buena música hoy!
As we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, we wish you all the happiness in the world. Don’t let anything stop you from drinking, eating and enjoying great music today!
