Border (La Linea)

Border (La Linea) (2001) more music like this

by Lila Downs

Lila Downs' second release for Narada World reflects her continuing fascination with Mexican-American border culture. Considering her own mixed heritage (she is the child of a Mixtec Indian and an American), Downs has a special interest here, and it shows in the emotional, directed singing of Border (La Linea). On the first few tracks, Downs' ...

La Cantina (2006) more music like this

by Lila Downs

Mexican-American singer Lila Downs, who grew up shuttling between homes in Minnesota and Mexico, caught the attention of the general public with her performance in the film Frida.

Canto (2001) more music like this

by Los Super Seven

Canto, the second album from the all-star Los Super Seven, begins with a mellow, Habanera-influenced groove and the suave vocal incantations of Raul Malo.

Frida

Frida (2002) more music like this

by Elliot Goldenthal

There is always a question, when a composer works on a project set in a culture of which he or she is not actually a part, a project intended for an audience that goes beyond that culture, how closely the composer should hew to the music of the culture itself. Broadway composers, for example, often have employed musical motifs and an instrument or ...

Soneros Jarochos

Soneros Jarochos (2006) more music like this

by Grupo Mono Blanco

While Grupo Mono Blanco's Soneros Jarochos will strike most listeners as traditional Mexican music recorded during an earlier era, it was in fact recorded in 1989-1990. Grupo Mono Blanco was formed in the late '70s by Gilberto Gutierrez Silva with the express purpose of reviving an older style of traditional music (known as "son Jarocho") that had ...

Putumayo Presents: Mexico (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Putumayo planned the release of Putumayo Presents: Mexico to be in time for the first Cinco de Mayo celebration of the 21st Century. The sampling is suitably festive from this rich land of song.

La Bamba: Sones Jarochos From Veracruz

La Bamba: Sones Jarochos From Veracruz (2003) more music like this

by Jose Gutierrez & Los Hermanos Ochoa

The title track from Smithsonian Folkways' La Bamba: Sones Jarochos From Veracruz is the instantly recognizable Mexican folk song (originally from the early 1800s) made popular in the '50s by Ritchie Valens, but here it is transported back to its roots as a son jarocho (a type of lively rural folk song from Veracruz). Chiming harp melodies rolling ...

El Cancionero: Mas y Mas (2000) more music like this

by Los Lobos

A multi-disc, authoritative box set usually arrives toward the end of an artist's career, which is what made the appearance of Los Lobos' four-disc retrospective El Cancionero: Mas y Mas in 2000 a little surprising. They weren't selling as many records, nor were they quite as hip as they were ten years earlier, yet they retained a devoted cult and ...

Explorer Series: Mexico - The Real Mexico in Music & Song (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

Billed as the "Real Mexico," this is, in fact the real Michoacán, on the country's west coast, and home to the Purépecha Indians, although the population is really Indian and mestizo these days. And there are actually a small number of artists recorded for this -- but what artists! Las Hermanas Pulido appear on several tracks, three sisters with ...

Llegaron los Camperos: Concert Favorites of Nati Cano (2005) more music like this

by Nati Cano's Mariachi los Camperos

Nati Cano is a giant in mariachi music, having led one of its finest ensembles since 1961 (Nati Cano's Mariachi los Camperos).

Worksongs (2003) more music like this

by Quetzal

If Martha Gonzales -- one of Quetzal's lead vocalists -- decided to become a full-time soul or urban contemporary singer, she would probably have a bright future in the R&B field. Gonzales has a very soul-influenced vocal style, and she's quite expressive. But then, someone as eclectic as Gonzales would probably be selling herself short if she ...

Tejano Roots: The Women (1946-1970) (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

Recorded for the Ideal label in Texas between 1946 and 1970, this gathers about an hour's worth of female-sung Tejano music, from a time in which the form was ignored by companies outside of the region. Most (but not all) of the 22 tracks are duets, sometimes between sister teams, and are often punched up with conjunto and orquesta accompaniment; ...

Folk Songs and Ballads from Mexico (2005) more music like this

by Trio Azteca

Folk Songs and Ballads from Mexico is a collection of Latin American pieces from one of London's better Mexican cultural groups. The bulk of the performances is indeed Mexican, though there are a couple of pieces clearly in the Cuban vein, or even in a Central American tone. With such a mix, the album title may be a bit misleading, but nonetheless ...

The Roots of the Narcocorrido (2004) more music like this

While it might seem a bit disconcerting to the average law-abiding citizen of the United States, narcocorrido has celebrated everything from the smuggling of contraband to drugs from south of the border. The Roots of the Narcocorrido offers a background, in essence, a way to understand why one culture might exalt what another condemns. "El Corrido ...

The banda boom of the '90s and 2000s brought considerable diversity to banda, which has been combined with everything from hip-hop to reggae to salsa. Banda star Jenni Rivera (who usually performs en español ) has even recorded a banda version of Gloria Gaynor's 1979 disco anthem "I Will Survive." Of course, there are some purists who believe ...
