My friend Jorge Fitz once told me a story about his childhood visits to the town where his grandfather grew up, Juliantla, just outside of Taxco, Mexico. He remembers many particular things about the way the town celebrated festivities and holidays, but one thing that stuck out in his memory was a special braided bread they made called pan de Juliantla.  As an adult, Jorge said he started making Jewish friends, and when he saw pan de Juliantla on their tables, he wondered how they knew about it.  The Jewish community in Mexico City is estimated to be between 40,000…

And then there’s what should have been their big world-beating hit. “Toi et Moi” is pop music so expertly constructed it sounds effortless, from its adorable little break of a beat to its glamorous synth strings to its hook of chiming bell. But it’s also ambivalent, happy-sad in mood yet lyrically self-interrogative, if not self-destructive. “Et je sens bien que je m’y prends mal,” Mény sings in an elegant lilt, “Que tout ça c’est pas normal/Que tu voudrais la version sous-titrée.” (“And I feel like I’m doing it wrong/That all this isn’t normal/That you would like the subtitled version.”) This…
