Los Nacionales Jacinto de Gatica - Sones Jarocho

Jaracho is a style of Mexican music from Veracruz that instantly goes to the heart and the chest.  Intensely string heavy, they have one of the best traditional harp styles I've ever heard along with a variety of small guitar-like instruments picked by a plectrum made from cow or goat bone.  The lyrics are often humorous and a little dirty and filled with sexual puns, etc.  One of the most popular Son Jarocho tunes was immortalized into rock and roll by Ritchie Valens and as we all know is La Bamba.  Check this record out, it's bangin.
