Cali Life Style - Mexican Invasion - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Mariachi is the name of a traditional Mexican street music with a style that has developed continuously throughout it's history. While in earlier times only the vihuela and the gitarron were used, and sometimes also the harp, one finds today that many different instruments are involved. The trumpet, which gives Mariachi it's characteristic sound, is a relatively new addition, coming along at the end of the 1950s. Mariachi music is lively, full of joy and can be very romantic. It is therefore very well suited to public festivals and weddings, and to the serenading of young women by potential suitors. This is a great introductory album to the genre, presented by the well-established Mariachi band, Mariachi Sol.

Cali Aleman, the celebrated lead vocalist of Miami's Latin supergroup the Original Latin All Stars performs the biggest hits of the Swing revival in Spanish. All selections newly remastered.
