Label: Gene Norman Presents.
“The Music in this album represents The Heart of Mexico in all its facets…With all its color and sensitivity! The Bright Mariachi, with its highly emotional and fun-loving sound…The romantic and sentimental music of the Trio, whose soft strumming guitars speak of love and serenades in the night: as well as the gaiety and spontaneity of the piquant rhythm of the Jarocho groups…All this music, in its most sincere form, unadulterated, honest and clear as the azure skies under which it was born, gives us the most accurate insight into…The Heart of Mexico.” (Back cover)
This 1961 Gene Norman comp offers up a fine selection of live-recorded performances from a healthy handful of excellent Mexican combos. Vinyl rip by yours truly. Enjoy!
Love this. Canción Mixteca is the dopest!
Gracias!
can you get this up as MP3 please boss?
Awesome stuff. Always love the Mexican music you post. Track 10 seems to be a blank 5 seconds though!
@ Lud’s Church — Glad you’re feeling this. RE track 10: You’re right. I’m working on the replacement now. Was doing dishes while reviewing my rip yesterday, so that brief silence must’ve just flown right past. Stay tuned for the fix!
OK, here are the fixes for Track 10 – La Adelita

Just discovered this site while searching for Les Amazones de Guinée – A Couer de paris (any chance of that being reposted?). Hard to resist leeching everything, take a week off from work and listen all day long. Great stuff.
