Mexico has several different kinds of festivals, celebrated for religious, national and local reasons. The type of celebration varies with the kind of festival. Generally, there is a party at the end of the celebration, and it is accompanied by traditional Mexican music.
With varying personnel, The Fiestas churned out no less than 17 singles from late 1958 to 1965 and came up with just two on the national charts. Their first was their best, with So Fine hitting # 3 R&B/# 11 Billboard Pop Hot 100 in April-May 1959 as Old Town 1062 b/w Last Night I Dreamed.
