I've always been a fan...Any of y'all experts? Anything from mariachi to Tijuana techno. I'll start with something I just fell into:

Not an expert, but I've always liked this one:

If Los Lobos' English songs count, this one is great:

Fuck I love that album. I always wanted to direct that video and I think I have a better concept. 

[RDCanecutter 26446]

From Veracruz, Natalia Lafourcade.

Lucked into a vinyl copy of this at a thrift store a couple of years ago. In Meyerland, Houston's Jewish neighborhood. Jehovah was repaying me for my seven months service as a Gentile kibbutz volunteer many years ago.

This kid out Vicentes Chente himself:

Belanova was a bartender in Guadalajara about the time I rolled through. Didn't meet her.

My grandmother was born a Beaumont WASP but she became a Catholic at about 12, and years later took us all to a Mexican church in Houston where they have a mariachi Mass. It feels like you are getting married and in a Spaghetti western.

From "Chanoc contra el Tigre y el Vampiro", Tintan sings the glory of bootleg rum. With a chimp.

I like me some Maria Barracuda, from Juarez.

And now to clear the palate:

 

[RDCanecutter 26446]

This is one where when it comes on the big screen in the bar, everybody stops what they are doing and sings along.

 

[RDCanecutter 26446]

One of our Chihuahuas started getting feisty while I played that. In her blood, like an Italian hearing the theme to Rocky.

[RDCanecutter 26446]

Lupillo! Taught my students this one.

 

[RDCanecutter 26446]

Lots of rich families in Monterrey send their kids to the US. People think it's because of cartels. It's really so they won't stay home and hang out with Plastilina Mosh.

I was once taken on a police tour of the meth ghettos of Lufkin and Angelina County. The cracka ass crackas had pit bulls running around their trailer park. Shit you not, the blue ice Mezcins had semi-feral chihuahuas running around.

Good Houston band: 

 

[TwiceHorn 31488]

Nobody fucks with Larry Mon y El Comanche.  You cannot fuck with this band.

Came here to post her too, fuck she looks young in this video. I discovered her a few months ago in a contemporary setting:
 

Most beautiful song I heard last year. Period.

I have probably watched that thing 15 times in the last couple of days. I keep switching my ranking of the two chiquitas, and I don't think marrying them both, Moorish Spain style, would work out very well. For me. It seems like a good plan on paper but in reality I would be chum in a shark tank. I guess there are worse ways to go.

Best barky alarm around, smaller target for the cops to shoot.

I loved this song on the Kiko album:

 

 

And, as a gringo, also liked the longer version on the Los Super Seven album with Rick Trevino and Doug:

Both are wifing material.  The shorter thinner one has the looks, but the other one has "the look".  Ay yay yay.  Me too gringo.

That is the perfect expression of what I was thinking but not able to articulate.

when i lived in san antonio i went to the conjunto fest about 6 yrs in a row.  discovered it late but once i did i never missed it.  it was the most fun of any festival in town.  so cool to see the dancers, and the music is happy music.  upbeat.  i own at least 4 cd's from the merch booth there.

A couple that remind me of the reprobates on this site:

I know Felipe pretty well...All his songs are true. If it weren't for Skarnales there would be no Suffers, and the Suffers are the one band to make it out of Houston to some degree in the last five or ten years. He is a true king of the scene and a dignified mess.

Love Lila. I talked to for a while some years back. She is half India and half American professor...She spent half her time as a DeadHead and the other half as a Mixtec. She is a fucking star.
