two heads of cabbages and a hand full of cash

Via an article on Salon today, I heard about an interesting documentary showing on PBS. Compañeras tells the story of Mariachi Reyna de los Angeles, an all-female mariachi group. The movie's showing as part of the Independent Lens series. Altho it's on tonight in many places, if you're local to the Triangle you'll have to wait a while. The first showing is scheduled for 4/18. At 2am so set those VCRs or DVRs.
Interesting side note: in a letter to Salon someone pointed out that the claim of Reyna de los Angeles that they're the first all-female mariachi group is not 100% accurate.
