Songs that follow me to Baja...please add your own!




Los Lobos- El Pescador

(awhile back there was some discussion of Son Jorocho style music from Vera Cruz, this is a great example)

The "El Pescador" cut from Los Lobos was SWEET!

It reminds me of a memorable meal of Pulpo en su Tinta (octopus in it's ink) I enjoyed at Boca del Rio, in a family style beach joint, just south of Vera Cruz, Christmas 1996......ahhhhhh!

Nice post, Ken. :dudette:

Los Lobos played at the LA County Fair a week or so ago. Geez. I remember back when they cut their first album which was not on a major label. These guys are all either 60-ish, or pushing 60, but still put on an amazing show.

In my opinion, these guys are what the American Dream is all about.

I have a whole playlist on my iphone about Mexico! Wish I was there in Baja right now instead of pretending to get ready for work.

gonna have to give these esoteric sounds a go.....

check this one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubqKGYRB80A


Starin' out into the wild blue yonder
So many thoughts to sit and ponder
'Bout life and love and lack of
And this emptiness in my heart

Too old to be wild and free still
Too young to be over the hill
Should I try to grow up
But who knows where to start

So I just ...
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away

Sun comes up and sun sinks down
And I seen 'em both in this tourist town
Up for days in a rage
Just tryin' to search my soul

From the answers and the reasons why
I'm at these crossroads in my life
And I really don't know
Which way to go

So I just ...
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away

Maybe I'll settle down, get married
Or stay single and stay free
Which road I travel
Is still a mystery to me

So I'll just ...
Sit right here, have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away

Down in Mexico ...
