Slavic Mexicans (Brace yourself, Americans!)
In the 1950s, in the Socialist Federation of Yugoslavia, something strange happened...
 Josip Broz Tito, Yugoslavia's Dictator, fell out of friendship with the Soviets and the government of Yugoslavia had to look somewhere else to film and music entertainment. They found a suitable country in Mexico: it was far away, the chances of Mexican tanks appearing on Yugoslav borders were slight and, best of all, in Mexican films they always talked about revolution in the highest terms. How could an average moviegoer know that it was not the Yugoslav revolution? Emilio Fernández's Un Día de vida (1950) became so immensely popular that the old people in the former republics of Yugoslavia even today regard it as surely one of the most well known films in the world ever made although in truth it is probably unknown in every other country, even Mexican web pages don't mention it much. The Mexican influence spread to all of the popular culture: fake Mexican bands were forming and their records still can be found at the flea markets nowadays. This is a small homage to hundreds of performers who covered themselves with sombreros to become Slavic Mexicans. Listen to a sample (Hahaha):

No, no. They found a suitable country in Mexico.
It's like saying... CBS News found a suitable host in Katie Couric. You can use English this way.

Do you watch a lot of Mexican soap operas in Bosnia?
I know they are very popular in places like Russia and Poland.
