Canta Y No Llores
"Cielito Lindo" is a popular Mexican song '' copla'', popularized in 1882 by Mexican author Quirino Mendoza y Cortés (c. 1862–1957). It is roughly translated as "Lovely Sweet One". Although the word ''cielo'' means "sky" or "heaven", it is also a term of endearment comparable to "sweetheart" or "honey." ''Cielito'', the diminutive, can be translated as "sweetie"; ''lindo'' means "cute", "lovely" or "pretty". Sometimes the song is known by words from the refrain, "Canta y no llores" or simply the "Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay song". Commonly played by mariachi bands, it has been recorded by many artists in the original Spanish as well as in English and other languages. There is some debate as to whether the song talks about the Sierra Morena, a mountain range in the south region of Spain, or the similarly named Sierra Morones in the Mexican state of Zacatecas. It has become a famous song of Mexico, especially in Mexican expatriate communities around the world or for Mexicans attending inte ...

Sucedió En Jalisco (Los Cristeros)
''Sucedió en Jalisco (Los Cristeros)'' ("It Happened in Jalisco (The Cristeros)") is a 1947 Mexican film written and directed by Raúl de Anda based on the novel ''Los Cristeros'' by José Guadalupe de Anda. It stars Sara García and portrays the drama of a love triangle during the Cristero War. Legacy The filmmakers took a great risk in the making of the film as, despite the liberalism towards Catholicism in the post-Calles era, the Mexican government restricted coverage of the Cristero War and the conflict was largely covered up. A remake was made in 1972 which Raúl de Anda also directed. This version was based in part on the novel ''Sucedió en Jalisco'' by Jesús Goytortua. In light of the difference, Mexican cinema typically refers to the 1947 film by its alternative title ''Los Cristeros'' and the 1972 film by the proper title of ''Sucedió en Jalisco''.
