You can catch Joe King Carrasco Labor Day Weekend 2009 in a special three-day party for a limited number of fans in the sleepy little
fishing village of Chelem Yucatan Mexico. The event will only accommodate 60 of Joe's biggest fans where Joe and his band will perform on the roof top of the Hotel Las Garzas overlooking the Gulf
of Mexico. Ticket price includes dinner and an open bar serving beer, budaritas and non-alcoholic beverages.
Forget what you think about Mexico. Chelem provides an authentic
Mexican vacation experience. This is the place Mexicans come for
summer vacation and have their beach homes. It is a peaceful village
of about 5,200 persons, many of which are filled with expatriates from Texas, nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and a lagoon that is famous for its bird life with colonies of wild flamingos. It has no gaudy
resort hotels, no timeshare sales, and no tourist traps. It does have
a main plaza, family owned markets, a church, a Municipal building,
unspoiled beaches covered with seashells, several seafood restaurants serving the catch of the morning and friendly Mayan locals. If enjoying the sun, sand and sea is not enough, Mayan Ruins are only 10 minutes away and Chitzen Itza or and Uxmal less than two hours drive.
Need a little more action? Then you can visit Merida or Progreso. Merida is a major city founded in 1542 with a population of almost a million people and the lowest crime rate in Mexico. It hosts an international airport and is rich in culture, hosting museums, university, first class hospitals, theaters, night clubs and shopping malls including US chain stores like Sears, Costco, Wal-Mart and Sams Club. If Merida seems a little intimidating, then Progreso is much closer and host several nice restaurants on the malecon, open air markets, and a large Wal-Mart type grocery/department store and is full of activity when the Cruise Ships arrive twice a week. The local temperature about 87 degrees F/30 degrees C.
A native to Texas, Joe King Carrasco, has devoted his career to the
evolution of his Tex-Mex Rock and Roll sound that blends 1960's Rock & Roll with Latin Cumbias, Caribbean Reggae and a little bit of Sam The Sham thrown in for a spicy flavor into his own unique genre labeled "Nuevo Wavo" in the 1980's, "Tequila Reggae in the 1990's and evolving into what is now known as "Cha Cha Mex".
