Free Music Notes for Mexico and Mariachis: Music From and Inspired by Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi Trilogy
Free Music Review: Not Much "Mariachi", But....
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this CD on the strength of my knowledge of some of the musicians hoping to find a sleeper. And I did! The problem for the record company is how to get music stores to put it where it will be found by the "right" people, that is those with an adventurous taste in music who are not afraid to cross over into music sung in a language other than English. Waterloo Records in Austin long ago figured out how to reach that type of listener and so this is a hot seller in Austin. But what about the rest of the US?
It would surely be a mistake to put this in the mariachi section. Not that no one looks for mariachi records, but that strict mariachi aficionados would likely not accept this as representative of the genre. Mexico and Mariachis contains not much "mariachi" at all, but it does offer the listener a splendid array of tunes that range from rock to cumbia, with a few songs in English even thrown in!
I like the whole CD, but my favorites are Chingon's rendition of Malaguena Salerosa, the magnificent ballad Alacran y Pistolero featuring Tito Larriva, the Crusados' Flor de Mal, the Iguanas' excellent cumbia Por Mi Camino, Del Castillo's Spanish Castle Tango, and Los Lobos with the old standard Volver, Volver.
There is truly a lot of great musicianship here. Don't be put off by the title if your idea of mariachi conjures up images of guys who serenade the tables in touristic Mexican restaurants. Its not like that and neither is the music anything like the traditional style of Vicente Fernandez. Think in terms of this music being to mariachi as the nuevo tango of Astor Piazzolla is to the guardia vieja...then crank it up and enjoy!
