My guest today on the show is the extraordinary bassist and songwriter, Jim Rojas. 

Today’s show topic is FOOD! - everyone's favorite topic.

Jim's single, “Provecho” is a fun tune that highlights the marvelous cuisine of Mexico.  I’m sure you’re gonna find this one engaging, satirical and lighthearted.  In Mexican culture, before starting a meal, it's common to say "provecho". It conveys the heartfelt wish that the meal will be enjoyable and beneficial for the person partaking in it.  It's a way of saying, “I hope you enjoy your meal”.  Much like saying …“Bon Appetite!” 

Jimmy’s had some fun on this one, combining great music, with top-notch musicians; mixing it all with his love for the food he grew up eating with his love for crafting great songs.  You’ll find a blend of diverse Mexican elements woven into the production along with satirical lyrics and yes, folks... there are real mariachi strings used on this track - helping to bring the authenticity home.
