Music reviews of Mexico
Music Review: Viva Mexico !
Rating: 5 Stars
I played this CD for a friend and he was surprised that first there wasn't a mariachi and even more surprising for him is that not all songs are sung in spanish. And he really loved it and commented on how beautiful the songs are. " Rogaciano " he recognized because I play Miguel Aceves Mejia all the time. This CD is a nice sampling of music from different parts of Mexico. I really love this CD, the songs are beautiful, a nice CD for those who collect world music but also for those who want to learn more about Mexico and it's diversity. Mexico has so much culture to offer and it's a shame that Mexicans are stereotyped a lot in the US, I'm happy that I have met some people who are interested in learning more about Mexico and it's wonderful people and cultures. It is a great loss for those who don't bother because Mexico is so rich in culture and tradition. I am saying this not only because I am of Mexican descent but because I realize that everything that I love, the traditions, the culture, the people, the music, the food and everything that makes me who I am is MEXICAN
Description of Mexico
CD > POPULAR MUSIC > LATINEven in the northern states, Mexican music is easy to find on American radio, but airplay almost exclusively consists of the Tex-Mex norteño style. In contrast, there's barely an accordion in earshot on this sparkling collection of traditionally rooted songs. Los Bravos del Norte de Ramon Ayala weigh in with the bouncy ranchera "Andan Dicendo," but on all other fronts guitar trills rather than squeezebox sighs propel the music. With violin swoops and falsetto vocals, La Calaca unleash the galloping son huasteco/ranchera "Rogaciano." The same ensemble graces the gusto "El Tecolote" with less ferocity but equivalent momentum. Los Lobos dip way into their past with a 1977 version of the son jarocho sped up into a self-proclaimed son loco on "Flor de Huevo," complete with dizzying fretwork and a flailing rhythm. The delicate instrumental son istemeno wedding song "Mediu Xhiga" from Dueto de los Hermanos Rios brings exquisitely ornamented requinto guitar from Mexico's Pacific Coast. Rounding out the set is a slice of Latin cabaret complete with braying clarinets and a gritty vocal takeoff on, of all things, a traditional Mexican Christmas carol via Lhasa de Sela's "Los Peces." --Bob Tarte
