These graphics are mostly representative of Mexican popular culture.
The faces are masks worn by wrestlers (luchadores de Lucha Libre) which is a popular sport in this country.
The “piñata”, Margarita glass, chiles and “maracas” are mostly Mexican.
As every pop culture item, are clichés.
It is a mistake to asume these are used all over in Latinamerica (whic is a huge cultural area).
Each contry has its own pop culture items.
Althought the countries closer to Mexico may share some of these items, it’s not right to think that the donkey shaped piñata is used in Panama or in Uruguay…
Hope you understand that latinamerican graphics are as simple as it may seem.
