Hi Everyone,

please find below a link that will guide you to a Youo Tube video.
Video contains 2 different mexican militar marches.

First one is the real Mexican Toque a Deguello.

The second one is the famouns Marcha Dragona

Toque a Deguello is a Buggle Call to indicate that No Prisioners should be taken.

The Toque a Dequellos performed at Alamo on 2004:

was displayed on a different way. First of all, it was used for the Cavalry during the attack, not during the siege.

Toque a Deguello was a " popular" march among all the Latin american countries and Spain.

Interesting. This also highlights the danger of movies touching historical themes. The main point of movies is to entertain and transmit emotion, not accurate information. If there is a way to improve a story, by changing details or bringing in new music which the director likes more, it is done.

Sure, many directors get a few historical consultants to try to get things right. However, if there is a decision between accuracy and movie convention, movie convention wins.

Nothing highlights this more than having university professors parse parts of movies to their students. I had one who showed examples of roman formations from movies, pointing out accurate details and then pointing out the tons of inaccurate ones.

I wonder if US Civil War movies are now more accurate because the significant number of the viewers are going to be a bunch of people who pursue avocational research on the topic.
