This is all great music but even more important is the system you have to enjoy these tunes. Are you all using digital or analog???
Nothing rocks like an old school system with heavy analog amps and speakers so big and heavy nobody would even try to steal them.
If you are not sure, feel free to ask for assistance...

Yes, and no!
I am an old time audiophile and still have over 4000 vinyl LPs stored in rice paper sleeves with plastic jackets in a special room I built for my
records.
However, a top notch high bit rate Burr Brown DAC can rival analog, especially if it is an SACD or DVD Audio. I am a huge Lexicon fan and my MC12 has
a 192k 48bit ADC for every analog input and a 192k 48bit DAC on every analog output.
Love it all, especially when I am at my baja casa with my original Mirage m5's blasting |
The problem is that few folks understand that and think that if it is "digital", it must be the best. Someone forgot to teach them about bit rate...
|
Oh, I thought Bit Rate had to do with the the number of time a Mexicano Pero could bite in an hour?

Most anything by Lila Downs or Ozomatli, especially their many versions of La Bruja.
And although they have nothing to do with Mexico, Little Feat always seem to fit the bill when I'm listening in Baja.

Gene Autry, Sons Of The Pioneers, Bob Wills, Patsy Montana, all those old cowboy tunes!
Nena-- when I first opened this thread, I had just crossed the Otay border and was eating at the wonderful dive at Brown Field (wifi and dogs allowed
outside) and Seven Spanish Angles by Willie and Ray was playing on the jute box!!

CB, would appreciate that. I'm downloading lots of music for my MP3 player through Extreme music and am running out of names to enter. A list like
that would be just what I'm looking for.

I love that song! -also known, please pardon me if I offend anyone, as 'the beaner song'. My boyfriend cracked me up becuase he could laugh at
himself and when he was in a troublesome situation once, he said something like, 'this poor beaner' or 'your sorry as- beaner boyfriend needs your
help, pleeease!'
My ex boyfriend is a Mexican born and living in Tijuana, which is where I met him and was surprised, elated, and very dismayed to fall hopelessly,
madly, head-over-heels in love with him with every fibre and atom of my being. I've never felt that intense of romantic love in my whole entire life
before; I was 45- almost 47 now. He spent most of his life in Cali but moved back to Tijuana a couple of years ago. He gave me a cd with that song.
It is sad, funny, blunt and irreverent, and true to life in how so many gringos and the ones portayed in the video loathe, resent, look down upon,
stereotype, blame, and view the Mexicans and how the Mexicans respond to them with the truth. I like the song and the video.
UnfotunateIy, I still love Sergio just as much now as before but long distance relationships are too frustrating, unfulfilling, and
heart-breaking. I could not handle it.
Sigh...
Oh well, like the song by Nazareth, Love Hurts!
I also love Santana and the Gypsy Kings and music by Bebe from Spain.
