Rough Guide to the Music of Mexico
Fed by a source that runs thick and fast, the best Mexican  musicians consistently express the passion that has always fired the  country's music. Live music is everywhere - at parties, concerts,  festivals, births, deaths, marriages, on saints' days and in the media. The  range of styles in Mexico is enormous and this album features a selection  including son, ranchera, new son jarocho, Mexican rock, mariachi and big  band. What these have in common is a great irreverence, a sense of humour  and a passion for life and love that is not frightened of extremes. The  Rough Guide To The Music Of Mexico offers a highly sought after  introduction to the city sounds while tracing these back to the traditional  music that gave birth to them.Artists include: Astrid Hadad, Cafe Tacuba, Juan Reynoso, Eugenia Leon,  Salon Victoria, Chuchumbe, Mariachi Reyes Del Aserradero and Los De Abajo
