REVIEW “If ever an album needed to be in chronological sequence, which it strictly isn't, but close enough, it's this collection of 24 original 1953-64 hits by one of conjunto's greatest innovators. Starting with a traditional instrumental lineup, Tony De Ia Rosa, born on the King Ranch, evolved in this period to a full electric sound with drums, electric bass, and amplified bajo sexto, which took care of the dance beat and left the accordionist free to concentrate on melody and vocals. By 1964, he had also added horns (`Una Cualquiera' and `Perdi El Albur'). Not immediately successful, De La Rosa and his conjunto backed Carmen y Laura (`Adios Amor') and Isidro Lopez (`El Celo Me Tortura' and `Sufriendo y Penado'), before connecting with a string of polkas, `Sylvia,' `Los Frijoles Bailan,' `La Grulla,' `El Circo' (his first big hit), `Atotonilco' and others, plus huapangos, rancheras and boleros. Still performing (his first album in five years is due soon from Hacienda), De La Rosa virtually created the sound of modern conjunto and remains one its great masters.”(John Conquest — Music City News) |
