Flaco Jimenez - Arriba el Norte!

Flaco Jimenez is a true Texas legend and favorite, and his celebrity is a little understated.  From San Antonio, Texas, son of the great conjunto musician Santiago Jiminez Sr., he has played with artists ranging from Freddy Fender to Bob Dylan to even being featured in the Woody Allen film Picking Up the Pieces.  His sweeping diatonic button accordion lines and deep bellied vocal vibrato meld together in beautiful harmony as he sings his corridos and canciones.  You can probably also recognize him from the mural right next to the Continental Club in Houston, Texas.  People say the Texas music scene doesn't exist but they are talking about such a narrow scope of music.  Enjoy!

Alfredo Gutierrez - Romantico

Alfredo Gutierrez is Cumbia Vallenato musician from the northern coast of Colombia where many of the original slave trading ships took dock.  He has been playing the accordion since he was four years old and is three time winner of the Vallenato Legend Festival.  While his tearing and soaring accordion lines are sort of non-traditional, his arrangements and the styles of Cumbia Vallenato that he tackles are anything but.  In fact, many of the pieces he arranges are a direct throwback to the early days of New World Cumbia.  A must have for Cumbia lovers!

Aniceto Molina - 25 Exitos

Aniceto Molina is a Colombian Cumbia Vallenato musician who leads the group Aniceto Molina y Los Sabaneros and has been recording albums since the early 70's.  His style is purely Colombian but his popularity extends widely throughout the breadth of South and Central America, as well as Texas, Arizona, and California.  The Vallenato style is a stripped down, very traditional style of Cumbia with a huge emphasis on the guacharaca rhythm.  Aniceto now lives in San Antonio, Texas and tours around North and South America consistently.
