Free Music Notes for Mexico and Mariachis: Music From and Inspired by Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi Trilogy
Free Music Review: We Mariachi fans are so, so spoiled
Hit: 5 Stars
Learning that this album existed was one of the most pleasant suprises of my entire life. "Mexico and Mariachis" is a compilation album of new, unreleased tracks inspired from Robert Rodriguez's phenomenal Mariachi film trilogy. As the liner notes written by Rodriguez confirm, these songs are meant to tie up loose ends and give a clearer perspective on the Mariachi films, and really stresses how important music is to the El Mariachi character. "Cancion Del Mariachi" and "Torquay" are tracks we've heard on other Rodriguez soundtracks, but everything else is all brand new and very appropriate. If you're a Mariachi trilogy fan, buy this for no other reason but to hear "Malaguena Salerosa" and "Alacran Y Pistolero", the complete and previously unheard Mariachi title tracks that are absolutely incredible. Tito Larriva's accoustic "Back to the house that love built" is absolutely fantastic, and the previously unreleased, complete opening credit theme from Once Upon A Time In Mexico is awesome. If you're a fan of the films, or absolutely loved the Desperado soundtrack, do NOT pass this album up. This is an incredible gift from Robert for us Mariachi fans out there.Free Music Review: captivating

I came across this album after watching Kill Bill V2. The song that starts just prior to the closing credits (and continues through the credits) is Malagueña Salerosa and I just had to know more about this song. As a result, I discovered this CD. As it turns out, Robert Rodriguez did the score for Kill Bill V2 and I subsequently have come to discover what a creative talent this man is. I heartily recommend the book "Rebel without a Crew," which I recently read. It is Robert's story behind making El Mariachi (I have also posted a review of that book).
Anyway, the CD is fabulous. I don't know Mariachi music all that well, but this seems to me to be more a fusion of Mariachi with some rock flavors. I have played this CD many many times in succession and there are some absolute gems in here.
When I ordered this from Amazon, I was unaware a DVD bonus was included with the CD. This has some nice live footage and an "interview" with Robert. The interview is in quotes because it is basically Robert setting up a camera in his home studio at 4 a.m. and filming himself. What a treat!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Free Music Review: I think this looks great, but I have a question!

I've read your review for "Mexico and Mariachis: Music From and Inspired by Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi Trilogy", and it was quite helpful. I think I am most likely going to buy the CD + DVD, it's an offer too good to pass up.However I have one question, regarding the first track, "Malaguena Salerosa" by Chignon. How does this song begin? Does it begin with a short drumroll and electric guitars? Or does it begin with acoustic guitars and an acoustic sound for a short while before it kicks in to the electric guitars?
This is somewhat important to me, because I've heard both versions of the song, but only been able to track down the one that starts with the electric guitars (on the Kill Bill Vol. 2 soundtrack). So your help would be much appreciated.

Free Music Review: Excellent Mexican Music!
Hit: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this music. Robert Rodriguez is an excellent Artist. This is a must-have CD with a bonus DVD in the back of the case which includes an inspiring interview with the artist Robert Rodriguez himself. I now want his music book for myself so i can start playing that amazing mexican music on guitar and reading the music notes from his music book. Well worth the money! Get it as soon as you can. The postage and handling amount will increase if you tick 'priority' but you get it straight to your door in 4 working days. Just be home to collect it as you have to sign for it.
Ps. go to music [...] and order his big music book for a small price, play that guitar and bring out the mexican in you.

If you liked the Mariachi movie trilogy, you'll love this CD! I found this by accident and it's the best I've found in a long time. The interview with Robert Rodriguez gave me a lot of insight into the differences in the music between Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. I was wondering a lot about that since he made both movies and they're so different. The bonus DVD was worth the price alone, but the music on the CD is the best! Tito's acoustic version of Back to the House Love Built is very different from the movie, but very good. Then you have Antonio Banderas's Cancion del Mariachi which is always good! Add some live music not on the soundtrack along with the main title music and you have one GREAT CD!!
