Updating You About Our Support Of Mexico Causes & People. March 2020 to September 2020. Our Report To The Community And Particularly Our Loyal Fans And Donors About Our Support Of the Community.
We Are Fully Committed To Our Brand Tag Lines: Tequila Rock ‘n Blues Explosion Festival & Events: Always For Great Causes, Always For Fun, Always For Great Live Music In The Warmth Near The Beach.
We Want To Do More, We Know We Can Do More. With Your Support And Assistance.

Natalia Ruiz Gomez of the Claudio Bigotes Memorial Animal Shelter of Toluca/Mexico City And Choco, the young part Doberman rescued from the street, who needed extensive Vet. treatments.
Our Current Total Of Contributions To The Community From January 1998 To Today After Funding All Costs Of Staging The Festival Through Cash Flow Is 170,390 pesos.
An Additional Donation of 5, 000 pesos Was Made In Early April To The Claudio Bigotes Memorial Animal Rescue Shelter In Toluca/Mexico City For Special Veterinary Treatment Needed.
From Funds Raised During The 2020 January To March Events As Reported In Our March 2020 Report To The Community, (See Below) We Contributed 12,200 pesos to Amigos de Animales of Barra Potosi, $10,730 pesos to the Claudio Bigotes Memorial Animal Rescue Shelter, and 3,000 pesos to Vicente Contreras, our 14-year-old guitar prodigy, for continued training in guitar from our Realizing Potentials Fund. There is a further pledge to Vicente of another 3,000 pesos following the successful completion of phase 1 of his new training.
Vincente Contreras, 14 years old of Ixtapa-Zihua.
And then Covid-19 struck. Many performer friends of our Festival, suddenly were unable to perform live in public for payment or tips. We made an “executive decision” in late April to reallocate 9, 000 pesos from our Realizing Potentials Fund to help, in a small, but meaningful way still we felt, and provide support three Mexican rock ‘n blues groups who have always given our Cause Fests their time and performance without demands for payment.
Now we are looking forward to January 2021 and 2022. In addition to continuing to support our 2020 Street Animal Rescue organizations and the Realizing Potentials Fund, we also wish to support Local Businesses and their Employees who were devastated by Covid 19 and help kickstart Mexico Tourism Recovery.
You will see some interesting announcements soon on our new plans to support both Local Business and their Employees and Mexico Tourism Recovery overall while continuing support for our ongoing Causes.
As always, we sincerely welcome the Feedback and Suggestions of our Fans And Past Donors.

Amigos de Animales in Barra Potosi Gets Support From Tequila Blues & Rock Explosion Events & Fests from our January 2020 Events. Plans call for continued future support for Amigos from future Tequila Blues & Rock Explosion Events in Ixtapa-Zihua.
In late March we announced the funding contributions we had made following our Events in Ixtapa-Zihua from January to March, 2020.
We are pleased to report today that Amigos de Animales (amigosdeanimales.org) of Barra Potosi, has received their full contribution pledged from the January 2020 Fest.
We live in uncertain times but our message to Stasya Briggs, the inspirational founder of Amigos de Animales was one of hope for us, and our future events, with continued support for Amigos if possible, as well as for the Animales Angels MX animal rescue project by Natalia Ruiz Gomez, in central Mexico where many of our performers and fans are based.

We’re Looking For Headliner Performers Worldwide Who Want To Support Mexico Tourism Recovery And Support Local Business & Employees Who Were Blindsided By The Pandemic. You Have Ties To Mexico, You Love The Country, The Beaches, The Warm Weather, The Cold Drinks. We Are Tequila Blues & Rock Explosion Fest & Events And Our 4th Annual Fest in January 2021 Seems Like A Perfect Time To Kick Out The Jams And Sing “We’re All Going To Mexico” (Willie Nelson, Carlos Santana)
We’re very hopeful, many positive signs starting to show, so we’re preparing plans now for an “Isolate No More Celebration”…an even bigger Explosion of Rock ‘n Blues (n’ Jazz ‘n Reggae ‘n Country Rock ‘n More) than we’ve ever had before, to coincide with the dates of our 2021 Tequila Blues ‘n Rock Explosion Festival # 4 in January in Ixtapa-Zihua, Mexico.
We want to be ready to kickstart life back to more normal ways if we can Conquer Covid-19 in the next months. There are many hurt by it, many to thank who were on the front lines. We want to do our part. Our health care professionals and first responders have put their lives on the line for us every day, the local businesses we loved to frequent have closed or operated on a shoestring, and employees have lost their jobs or had greatly reduced income.
Thinking About 2020 So Far. What Do You Think? Changes & Improvements Are Always On Our Mind. For Our Loyal Fans & For Our Performers Who Gave Us Their Best Performances.

It’s on tonight as we launch Year III of the Blues & Rock Festival in Ixtapa in the awesome Villas Paraiso Hotel Rock Bar. Transformed overnight. Ready for many more great shows in the future. But today our only focus is in presenting you with one more great live music show of originals and covers of mostly up-tempo rock ‘n blues, with some jazz, soul, pop feel in some of the tunes. A great mix of music. A great list of performers from Mexico, Canada and USA tonight. Then it’s another show on Saturday, January 11 and another on Sunday, January 12. It’s a Festival, after all. It’s our first year for the Ixtapa Film Festival associated with the event. The Blues Brothers 1980 Movie Extended Version with added scenes is being shown today at 4:00 pm at Villas. Then the Blues Brothers ” one of a kind-it’s a can’t miss” show tonight and a lot more. Over 4 hours of live music, and lots of time for dancing. Bring your cameras and capture all the great memories for your friends and family who are stuck back in the cold weather. They’ll want to come for Year 4.
