MEXICO - Salvador Meza has been making guitars since he was a boy, but his leathery hands have never had to churn them out as fast as now - thanks to the hit movie Coco.
Meza, 41, is one of many renowned guitar-makers in the Mexican town of Paracho, which has been producing artfully crafted guitars since the 18th century.
But the sleepy colonial town has never seen a boom like this - all because of Coco, this year's Golden Globe winner for best animated film and a box office smash that has grossed more than $500 million so far.
