We know Kristel, she knows Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo and our Audience, and we highly respect her musicianship and so do other musicians. We mentioned David Gogo and Charlie Jacobson of Canada in that breath. So we had no fear about her bringing musical Friends from Morelia!
Friends like Oralia Band possibly. She mentioned them to us yesterday as the talking about how to best put this together continues. What do you think folks? Wow, this video was very impressive. And we’re not that easily impressed.
We’ll keep talking to Kristel and let you know soon what the final lineup of Friends might look like. But count on it to be rockin’ and lots of fun. An international lineup. And music and performers and show concepts you can’t just go and hear any day you want. Always! That’s who we are!
We are all about the great music here at Tequila Blues Explosion Festival and Concerts For A Cause.  So with that we ask you what is the best rock or blues music in 30 seconds for you. You recognize it immediately, you sing along, you drum along…it gives you rock ‘n roll goose bumps.
Show Us Your Love For Talita Cumi Orphanage, Villas Paraiso Ixtapa, the Ixtapa Event Centre, or Frank’s Restaurant in Ixtapa by posting a fun selfie, you having fun with friends, or action/event photo or video on our pages from one of these locations or with the Talita Cumi orphanage kids or staff, for your chance to win.
Great prizes including two front section tickets for an upcoming Concert Show, discounts and upgrade coupons for runners-up and please only your own great photos or videos involving Frank’s Restaurant, Ixtapa Event Centre, Villas Paraiso or Talita Cumi orphanage. If you find a way to include our great sponsor, Big Boy Tequila, as well, even better for you.
We’re still out talking about Ixtapa Zihuatanejo live music concert style events upcoming. How they can become tourism magnets for Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo that will add more fun, more options for entertainment and change the image of this community for those considering our destination.
Our Tequila Blues Explosion Festival in year two expanded to four days and plans for growth every year upcoming. Our 12 Saturday night Concerts For A Cause series that can easily be expanded to many more nights. Out talking about benefitting the community, and causes like the orphanage children of Talita Cumi which these projects support. Talking about truly developing the Ixtapa Zihuatanejo daytime and evening event and live music scene to become a powerful tourist and visitor magnet, one of the best in Mexico.
