Everyday Life In Mexico City

Pablo Estevez, pachuco, retires and walks in front of a mural in front of the Plaza de la Ciudadela near Mexico City's Centro Histórico where music such as mambo, danzón, salsa and jazz is danced to during the COVID-19 health emergency and the green epidemiological traffic light in the city. It is a style of being and dressing that emerged in the 1930s among young people in the border area of Mexico and the United States. The baggy zoot suit emerged in the 1930s in Harlem, New York, among jazz musicians and was called drapes. Subsequently, its use spread among non-Anglo-Saxon communities such as Italians, Jews and, eventually, Mexicans. On 25 December, 2021, in Mexico City. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
