DEERFIELD, Ill. -- Tequila 100 Anos pays tribute to Mexican pride and tradition with a unique exhibit that gathers singers, songwriters, and performers who contributed to make memories and leave a footprint on both Mexico's history and world history. Starting today, adult, legal purchase age Latinos in many U.S. cities will enjoy a free historic tour where talent and a love for Mexico -- values shared by both Mexican music and Tequila, the most popular Mexican drink -- meet.

We are proud to offer to Latinos and the overall community in the U.S., this musical retrospective together with Tequila 100 Anos which -- along with many of the artists featured in the exhibit -- has also become one of Mexicans' favorite drinks in this country", says Antonio Portillo, Brand Manager for Tequila 100 Anos.
