Mariachi Music

I once saw a mariachi band open for Foo Fighters. They were called Mariachi El Bronx. Very odd to see that at a rock show but it was completely in line with the Foo Fighters sense of humor.

I think that's funny. They would certainly get an audience going, that's for sure.

It didn't.

 

Everyone was respectful when the band was playing but you could tell that the fans all knew it wasn't supposed to be taken seriously.

There's a chapter in Neil Peart's book 'Traveling Music: The Soundtrack to My Life and Times' (beginning around page 240) where he mentions being exposed to mariachi music.

 

One of the mariachi acts Peart mentions is Mariachi Cobre. A couple songs mentioned that the group perform is 'Guadalajara' and 'Granada'. The songs can be heard on the group's 1992 album here.

 

The second mariachi musical reference from Peart is the Frida (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), which can be heard

.

 

Also Peart references the song 'Paloma Negra' that's on both playlists.

 

As well, the Gipsy Kings are mentioned too.

I’m partial to the Gipsy Kings:

 

Spanish flamenco music is great. There's a band, Pata Negra, that put out a fantastic flamenco-blues fusion album 20 years back. "Blues de la Frontera" was the album.
