OK, which one's your favorite?

I can't think of one.



When all else fails, the requests start pouring in for "Foggy Mountain Breakdown."

Or the most mournful of them all


"La Que Se Fue"

la-kay-say-fway

or

"Cielito Lindo"

"Sigo si el rey"with

My earlier days in Mexico had me crossing the frontera with a JB 4-track stereo blasting out Herb Alpert on 8" speakers mounted in the package tray. Los Mexicanos went nuts over the sound, and I had to sit at curbside while 2 motorcycle cops got their fill of "Tijuana Taxi" and "Lonely Bull". Hell I was 17 years old. We thought we were screwed crossing back when US Customs stopped us and found 14 cases of Carta Blanca in the trunk and back seat of my almost new '63 ford. The gray haired inspector just shook his head and slammed the trunk closed. A young man tried to sell us a bag of pot the size of a basketball for 200 pesos. Drinks cost sixty cents while a lady danced nude on the bar top. A couple of hookers offered curbside service for 100 pesos. We passed. Anyway we paid for mariachis, seven of them for 2 hours at my birthday party at some hoity toity restaurant. I remember fighting the fog all the way up the central valley, and getting home in the wee morning hours. After three hours sleep I found myself at a bus stop waiting to be taken to a "Selective Service Exam" in downtown Oakland. That was some birthday! The cost of the mariachis was 900 pesos!

It has some tricky vocals and multiple guitar parts, so it's better with a two piece or three piece group, but I've heard credible versions by solos. The Tubes, amazingly enough, did a pretty good cover of it on their debut album, and it was on the Kill Bill 2 soundtrack. Here's a clip of the band Chingon doing a rocking, slightly electrified version of it live at the Kill Bill 2 premiere.

La Malaguena is an excellent choice and El Son de La Negra has a great intro. But, do ask "How much?" Before you get too carried away with the requests. :bounce:

Trouble is, you won't be getting Vargas de Tecalitlan.:biggrin::biggrin:
Do remember the days of dollar songs in Mazatlan, PV, Cabo and Ensenada. Just can't remember how long ago.:biggrin::biggrin:
Also, you had to be pretty sauced to get by the quality of the music.

I blare the DirecTV music channel "Maricahi " every Sunday afternoon over the outdoor speakers. All the old original versions with no talking or commercials. Everyone sings along.

That's DirecTV Sonic Channel 876 Dennis. :P:P

"Screech, Rumble, Bleat, Honk, Snorkle, Buzz, Whoosh & Frap". All are sounds common to street level mariachi performers.

I love the old black and white film of LOLA BELTRAN "PALOMA NEGRA" (1956). Great song and greater singer. But here are a few more. Some are better without mariachis.
