"Cinco De Mayo: Mexican Music & Recipes" is aimed at the download fan looking for a release that offers some extra "info-tainment" -- especially when used on a digital "tablet." The 80-minute long release comes with a special PDF file that features five Mexican recipes by noted PBS chef Melissa Guerra. The text on the PDF file matches various tunes on the album with the appropriate recipes. Some of the music is so "food-oriented" it includes the sound of tortillas being patted as a percussion "instrument" The music on "Cinco De Mayo: Mexico's Music & Recipes" consists of 27 of Mexico's best-loved tunes ranging from the 16th Century to Mexico's "Golden Era" of film music. The album is 80-minutes in length and features an attractive mid-line price. The recipes, developed by Guerra on her national PBS series, include "Chile Con Carne San Manuel," "Salsa de Chile Pasilla," "Enchilads Rojas," "Quesadillas," "Corn Tortillas" and "Tequila Sugar Cookies." The text accompanying the recipes talks about which tunes are the most fun to listen to while preparing a complete Mexican dinner.
