I would suggest 80s pop. Tone Loc, Salt-n-Pepa, ETC. ETC. Usually works pretty well for that age group....

At this point, you can't go wrong with Michael Jackson either.

Wait a minute gentlemen. Mexican-American, as in their ancestors are Mexican, or there will be some Mexicans and some Americans there? If they are Mexican-Americans, you will need some traditional Mexican music. I'm not talking about old stuff, there is plenty of new music that they listen to. PromoOnly has a Tropical Latin series you can get some idea about. Then again, they may have been raised on a whole bunch of different music. Ask the client what he expects, and then have a large variety of music on hand. You never know until you get there, what type of crowd it will be.
