El Grito

There's no need to wait until mid-September to let out a legitimate howl that says “I'm Mexican and I'm proud”. With movie-star looks and golden pipes, ranchera greats like José Alfredo Jiménez, Jorge Negrete, Lola Beltrán and Lucha Villa showed everyone how a proper grito is done, paving the way for a whole generation of Mexican idols to carry the torch.
