MÉXICO CANTA (Mexico Sings) was a popular Mexican rock weekly in 60s and 70s, influential in many countries of Central and South America, and some areas of USA. It was published from 1964 to 1975 in Mexico City by Ediciones Latinoamericanas. The owner was Don René Eclaire, whose offices and workshop were located in Tacubaya.
The magazine was letter-size, usually with 52 pages printed in one ink (ochre) on revolution paper, with a cover price of $1.00 and back issues $3.00; the front and back covers were in color. Over time, they included a poster, usually printed in two inks: yellow and black, letter-size, folded to fit inside the magazine. This poster raised the price to $2.00. It was a weekly publication and, at its peak, printed 120,000 copies per week. In its later years, the magazine grew in size.
