The Mexican Music of Cold War Yugoslavia: Yu-Mex

In this episode of Wiki U Kyle and Jheisson cover the Yugoslavian/Mexican music mashup, Yu-Mex. While it is no longer a country, the story of Mexican music and movies weaving their way into Yugoslavian culture is fascinating. With a WWII uprising against the Nazi's and a split with Soviet Russia, the people of Yugoslavia identified with the parallel story of the Mexican Revolution. Another revolution was brewing in Yugoslavia in the late 1980's when Brad Pitt visited the country to film The Dark Side of the Sun. The Wiki Boys break down the film and learn about Pitt's fist leading role.Our sponsor for this episode is Magic Mind!
