So, you\u2019re planning a party for Cinco de Mayo. In addition to festive decorations and food, you\u2019ll also need a solid music playlist for the occasion.

Overall, your music should be reliable. Address any hiccups beforehand \u2014 such as a slow phone or a poor Wi-Fi connection \u2014 so that there are no disruptions to the music. You don\u2019t want the mood of your party to be ruined because of technical difficulties.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re choosing music for your Cinco de Mayo party, you want to make sure that you\u2019re playing music that\u2019s relevant for the occasion. That doesn\u2019t mean that all of the party\u2019s music must be more traditional or festive, but you should should include some mariachi and tejano. You should also include some songs by popular Mexican, Mexican-American, or Latino artists today. Some artists you may want to have on your playlist are: Santana, Selena, Thal\u00eda, Juan Gabriel, and Romeo Santos.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Pandora and Spotify are great sources for streaming music for your party. Pandora has lists of specific Cinco de Mayo playlists you can choose from, while you can build your own playlist on Spotify. If you choose to buy CDs from select artists \u2014 or if you\u2019re using Spotify, YouTube, or another service \u2014 make sure to listen to the songs you\u2019re interested in beforehand, so you can get a feel for the mood they\u2019ll create.<\/span><\/p>\n

Refrain from putting the music on shuffle, find an order for your playlist that allows the songs to mesh well with one another. This means that you should space out certain genres or artists, so that you\u2019re not playing 10 mariachi songs in a row. You should have enough songs in your playlist to last the duration of the party, as well.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, you want your music to be fun and hopefully get people dancing too. If that means three hours of festive songs and two hours of pop songs, go with the flow \u2014 you want your guests to have an awesome time. Finally, don\u2019t forget to serve tasty, Mexican food along with that music.<\/span><\/p>\n
