Description

Mexican culture is as diverse as its landscape. Its roots stretch back thousands of years to the Aztec, Maya, Zapotec and other Native American empires. Echoes of these indigenous cultures still resound loudly in the modern setting, informing all cultural expressions, including language, food, art, architecture—and, of course, music. And while mariachi is indeed an important part of Mexican musical culture, it is just one aspect of a scene that also includes rhythmic harps of Veracruz, peppy accordion riffs of norteño, and poetic ballads of Oaxaca.

Mexico welcomes listeners to savor the spicy and romantic flavors of Mexican music, from the sones of Veracruz to the boleros of Oaxaca. Trackes include "El Tecolote" by La Calaca; "Petrona" by Mamselle Ruiz; "La Bruja" by Locarno; "Ranchu Gubina" by Claudia Martinez; "Nuestro Nido" by Pastor Cervera; "La Llorona" by Amanda Martinez; "Son Huini" by Los Hermanos Rios; "Naila" by Lila Downs; "Ra Bacheeza" by Bin Gula'za; and "Macorina" by Ani Cordero.

The album also includes a special guacamole recipe.
