The Mad MexicanIn celebration of Cinco de Mayo, XM channel Aguila (ch 92), will change its regular format from regional Mexican music to Mariachi music, from 12am to midnight on... well, on May 5th.

The Cinco de Mayo celebration will be hosted by Richard Cortez, aka "The Mad Mexican" (pictured above... on the left). He's been a beloved radio personality in the Spanish-speaking community for more than 30 years, in markets like Albuquerque, New Mexico, Dallas, Texas.

The Mad Mexican has been programming Aguila for four years.

In addition to Aguila, XM offers four channels of commercial-free Latin music, including: Latin pop hits channel, Viva (ch 91); the newly launched Spanish oldies hits channel Caricia (ch 93); and tropical dance music and reggaeton hits channel Caliente (ch 94).

He doesn't look mad. He looks kinda happy, and who photoshopped that sombrero on his head? Why not just put a cheesy gordita crunch in his mouth too? Racism of this type so close to Cinco de Mayo is disconcerting.

You have got to be kidding! Racism???? Cinco de Mayo is a MEXICAN HOLIDAY!!!!!!
Anyone who thinks this is racist is ashamed of the Mexican heritage instead of embracing the traditions. Good grief. Go have a Corona and chill out dude.

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO - Yeaaaaaawwwwwwwww!! :)
