Music reviews of Best Of: Ultimate Collection
Music Review: Likely, Third Generation Recondings of Mariachi Vargas
Rating: 3 Stars
This is "quickie" project that presents some of the most known recordings of the great Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan. This project does not include any liner notes, nor the original release dates, nor is remastered. You do not know what generation of the Mariachi Vargas your are hearing on this compilation. The Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan has been around for five generations, the first generation from 1897 to 1930, the second from 1931 to 1949, the third from 1950 to 1993, the fourth from 1994 to 2002, and the fifth from 2003 to date. Clearly, the songs presented here seems to be interpreted by the third generation of Mariachi Vargas around 1958-1968. I am basing it on the voices, which I can match from other original records (i.e., not compilations) of the early years of the third generation.
It is sad that this project and similar compilation projects (Lo Mejor de lo Mejor (BMG Latin, 2000), 100 Anos de Musica by RCA) have not taken the time to remaster these classic recording period from Mariachi Vargas de Tacalitlan nor has taken the time to provide even a brief history of this mariachi (You can go to Wikipedia, if you want to learn a little about this wonderful Mariachi history).
If you are looking for quantity and not necessarily the best sound or if you are looking for previous generation of the Mariachi Vargas, you will be well served by this CD compilation (The best Of Mariachi Vargas -- again it is the 3rd generation --) or by Lo Mejor de Lo Mejor Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlan (another compilation by BMG/RCA), Lo Mejor de RCA Victor by Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlan. If you would like to learn a little about these songs or the musicians of these generations, you will have to find it somewhere else (Wikipedia is not a bad place to start).
If you are looking for a more recent sound of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan, I would recommend the fourth and fifth generation:
a) 75 Aniversario
b) Aniversario 100: Canciones Mexicanas Que Canta el Mundo Ploygram 1997
This is a great compilation of traditional songs interpreted during the 100 Anniversary tour of Mariachi Vargas, Highly recommended. Sound is great.
c) 5ta. Generación (2002).
