Quintessential

I have to admit, this CD won me over....it is better than any Mariachi Vargas CD I own. I was particularly impressed by:1) Great Rhythmic Diversity 2) Three Part Vocal Harmonies on Boleros3) The integrity of improvised Fiddling on Huapangos 4) Frantic pace on the syncopated Sones Jalisciences

Bolio Interloper

This CD simply kicks fanny!!! I like this much better than my Mariachi Vargas CDs!!! Throughout the CD the muscianship is excellent, in particular with the violin playing. The voices are powerful and passionate without being strained, and convey emotion that transcends the language barrier...
