An hour of Mexican Mariachi & Rancheras sung in Croatian and Serbian, produced in the post-war period in Yugoslavia.
Many of the films shown in Yugoslavia in the 1950s–1960s were Mexican, due to a restriction on importing Soviet and American films. As a result, everything Mexican became popular in Yugoslavia and many musicians started to don sombreros to perform Mexican music, either singing in Serbo-Croatian or in the original Spanish.
