A Shared Culture
There is evidence of the Irish influence throughout the country, such as last year’s First International Celtic Music Festival of Mexico. It comes as no surprise, really, that there is a kindred spirit between the Latino and Irish cultures, particularly when it comes to the fine arts of music and poetry, song and dance. They share strong family values and, perhaps more important, religious views. Today, Mexico has more than 90,000 Irish descendants residing within the country, mainly in Mexico City and the northern states.
