I love the Heroes del Silencio cover (the song is classic 80's Spanish rock). I don't know of any particular large South Asian populations in Mexico to be honest, let alone Tijuana (where I've spent 99% of my life), but I do remember finding a Halal Pakistani restaurant in the outskirts of Tijuana about a year ago, so maybe it's a budding development?</p> <p>Saludos!</p> Thank you for introducing me to a hometown band!

I don't know if you remember me, but we worked together a million years ago at Envirocitizen in DC.</p> <p>Anyway, I'm not sure if you caught that this is a cover of a song by a band from Spain, Heroes del Silencio. They are my fav Spanish rock band (sorry, Caifanes). The singer in this video has the accent of somebody who learned Spanish stateside. As for the South Asian diaspora in Mexico, I have no idea, but I do know there is a Chinese community in Mexicali, Mexico, and Japanese-Mexicans that have been in Mexico for generations.</p> <p>~Shoshana</p> Hi Taz.
