"Este Es Mi Mariachi"
Mariachi Cobre may force you
to rethink your idea of mariachi music. Like the legendary dance
bands of Cuba, Mexico's mariachi tradition has roots in the chamber
orchestras of Baroque Europe, the indigenous music of the Native
American, the rhythmic drive of West African music and the passion
of Spanish folk and flamenco music. On this second release by
Mariachi Cobre, the group is joined by Linda Ronstadt. Much of
the album is devoted to traditional mariachi music, but both
Carillo and Keane contribute several deft and contemporary arrangements
of older songs; and a well-known piece from the classical guitar
tradition, Manuel Ponce's "Estrellita," gets a traditional
mariachi treatment. Mariachi Cobre has been a popular group since
the late 1960s, entertaining literally millions of visitors. |
