I actually like those, somewhat. The songs would be a whole lot more meaningful if I actually understood Spanish. I do really like that style of music playing, and am a fan of mariachi music that focuses more on the music than the lyrics (since I don't understand the lyrics).

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing and broadening my horizons!

Thanks Max, I don't understand all the words either, but I can pick out a few. As an example of how it makes me feel, I offer this song and I think you'll find it quite moving, even if you don't get the words. Christian Castro's music is very powerful and a person doesn't always need to understand the words to get the feeling and soul of a song.



You mentioned mariachi, so in the spirit of the mariachi style, I offer this song, Rumbo Al Sur, which means basically, "Heading down South". A song about a guy going back to his home to reunite with his love. There's a particular version of this song that I really enjoy, but it's also very rare and difficult to find. This is as close as I could find on youtube that resembles that version.....



In the movie, Selena, we see Jenifer Lopez portraying one of the most influential people in the Latino community. Every time I watch the movie, I break out in tears, I just can't help it. Knowing that this young lady was struck down by someone she loved and trusted at such a young age with her whole life in front of her and understanding how important she was, gets me every time. The last time I saw the movie was about a year ago I suppose. Oddly enough I was at the local Mexican watering hole when the movie came on the TV. By the time the movie got to the point of where this song is shown, I was a total mess. Tears were just rolling off my cheeks. From a distance, the lady bartender (Ivette) noticed me quietly sobbing and came to see what was wrong. She thought I was in some great pain and very sick. When she posed the question, "Porque tan llore?" (Why are you weeping?) I just pointed at the TV and said to her, "Selena". She knew what I meant. She consoled me briefly, stating, "Iz ok". She squeezed my hand in a friendly manner and said, "You being ok?" and I just nodded in response. She returned to the group of men at the bar she had left before she came to see me and I could tell she was explaining to them what was going on. The next thing I knew, there were 5 new beers sitting in front of me....each of which I enjoyed to the fullest! I took a cab home that night.....



So people don't get confused, I included this tribute video of the real Selena doing the same song.



I hope you guys enjoy these, I know I do!

Good stuff there - I really did like the Mariachi-ish "Rumbo al Sur" song. Good stuff. And Selena's song was great. But I will confess to hating Jennifer Lopez (for no rational reason other than she annoys the crap out of me), so "Selena" (movie, not artist) is a bit tainted. Selena's performance was fantastic, though...

Now let me present the opposite of good music...

Wesley Willis. Homeless weirdo recording music to make ends meet and praying for a Wheaties endorsement.

[YoDude9999]

Sad thing is....he probably thinks he's good!

Here's one you may want to see if you can find, "El Rancho Grande"
