CHOLULA
...20) Rockets explode, vendors hawk squeaky toys, and the congregation of La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Remedios sings María madre mía.  The bells toll as the procession descends from the 16th Century church that the Spanish built on top of the 2300 year-old ruins of Tlachihualtepetl, the world's largest pyramid.

ACATLÁN
22) An off-duty mariachi sings for some very wasted friends as they talk to this gringo and sing along.  He plays professionally in Cuernavaca on weekends....
