Experience the largest blues music festival in Mexico — the Baja Blues Fest. On this episode, we meet world famous musicians like Chubby Carrier from the Bayou Swamp Band, who explains about Zydeco blues music. We get to wonder around the little booths at the festival to admire the art and taste the goodies. Host Jorge Meraz also learns how this event is a marvelous fundraiser benefiting children’s charities.
