Celebrating 50 years as the most popular songster (border music troubador) in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Rubén Castillo Juarez and his Pinguinos del Norte perform their unique repertoire of old and current border ballads on this new live recording. Recorded by Arhoolie Records founder and president Chris Strachwitz in 2001, continuing an over 30-year tradition for Arhoolie Records (our very first Mexican Border LP, issued in 1970, was also by Los Pinguinos del Norte).

REVIEW

“Los Pinguinos del Norte is fronted by legendary singer Ruben Castillo Juarez who just last year celebrated 50 years as the most popular songster (i.e. border music troubadour) in Piedras Negras, Coahuila.  The collection Trovadores de la Frontera is a live recording commemorating this achievement of longevity by Mr. Juarez.”
