Any fans of Norteño?

Ken Cooke - 10-24-2010 at 01:12 PM

After a number of years, I put on "Soy Parrandero" by Los Tucanes de Tijuana. Anyone else out there listen to Norteñas?

Not to mention that they sound like they're singing with clothespins on their noses.
I can't stand the racket.

Is it true that Lawrence Welk was the first norteno musician?:lol:

Not sure about that, but I am sure he's one of the first I disliked......so, maybe he was.

I guess you really ought to blame the Germans.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accordion#History

The accordion became so widespread and popular especially amongst the poorer folks mostly because it represented something akin to a one- man band.

wessongroup - 10-24-2010 at 02:41 PM

all depends on what your drinking, eating and where you are...

have had the accordion, washboard, steel guitar, triangle, harmonica.. and other things which were used to make noise... sound pretty good while down in Cajun county... doing some setting at the bar...

a different sound for sure.. but, it was fun.... boudin for everyone...

Cypress - 10-24-2010 at 04:44 PM

Yea! Gonna be getting some boudin soon!:biggrin: They even have it at Wal Mart!:o

The clothespin on the nose stuff you refer to are corridos or "narco-corridos", interprted by the likes of Valentin Elizalde, Chalino Sanchez, and El Chapo de Sinaloa to name a few. In my opinion this type of music almost always glorifies narcos and their way of life. I despise that type of music. Norteñas typically tell a story of love, life on the road, or life on the ranch, etc. Go to youtube.com and look for the song "La Mesera", or "El Chubasco", these are typical norteñas.

Not all Wal Marts, only those down in the deep south USA.:D

Paula - 10-24-2010 at 06:43 PM

I love Norteño music!

And I'm really glad I like it, as I hear it all the time in my neighborhood in Loreto.

Hmmm... maybe if a study or poll were done we would learn that all of the crabby nomads-- at least the ones who live in Baja-- are the ones who can't tolerate noteño:lol:

Can't Offer Any Music Critique

Gypsy Jan - 10-24-2010 at 06:49 PM

But, a few years ago, we were sitting with friends at an outside patio at a taco place in Cantamar.

A big, red Dodge pickup rolled in, the guys got out to order their meal, leaving the doors open and the music pounding.

One of our guests, a lovely, beautiful Tijuanense shrunk down in her seat and tried to disappear.

After the red truck left, she relaxed and explained that members of her family had been kidnapped and that that noise was the "Evil, Devil Music of the Narcotrafficantes."

Probably narco-corridos or banda.

Sorry Ken I never heard of it.

I am one of thos Country Boy Musaice Lovers.

Many years ago would go to the Pallidium in Hollywood and Dance to lawerance Welk, One of the Greatist that ever played Music.
His show are still being played on RFD TV.

Course I liked that slow Bell-rubbing Music which generally winds up in Bed with a Beautifull Lady!

I just can"t see jumping around and Screaming Like a bunch of Monkies!

Dennis- You are either a genius or just plain lucky. Trivia: Mouseketeer Bobby (Burgess) went on to have a long run dancing on the Lawrence Welk show. Go figure.

What a gay moment that must have been. :biggrin:

Bajahowodd - 10-25-2010 at 04:07 PM

Actually back then, there were no gay people! :biggrin:

Anyone for some zither music?

Actor & Singer Pedro Fernandez!

Ken Cooke - 10-25-2010 at 05:08 PM

But what if (just speaking hypothetically, of course) one wanted to wind up in bed with a beautiful monkey lady?

I know, I know, you'd have to go to Anthony's for that, stupid question . . . .

i watched Larry Welk a lot for bemusement.. i like the band, the horns and woodwinds the most.
that guy bobby Burgess is an amazing hoofer.
the moves he makes with the LW girl they peg him each week with are better by far than anything performed on Dancin' wit the stars. Especially since he has to sing often.

wonder what he's up to now? probably vodka...:lol::lol:

Skeet/Loreto - 10-26-2010 at 01:07 PM

Thanks to all the Music Lovers--All Types.

Boy! that Mickey Mouse club brought Tears to my Eyes.

When I was about 5 years on one Sturdat night a Month all of the Ada Community would meet at the Hamlin Ranch and Danc all night then go to the Calvary Church for Sunday Service.

Guess that is where I learned to Dance.

For you Youngsters, take a good look at the Faces of those Kids. Happy, Happy.

Here's one for you Ken. Freddie Fender, Flaco Jimenez, and the Texas Tornados singing a little Tex-Mex Norteña. I swear to God if you put some shades and viking horns on the singer he looks like McFez.....que no?
