The joyous, exciting Huastecan sound featuring an exuberant blend of fiddle, guitarra quinta and jarana along with magnificent falsetto singing. The CD contrasts the sounds of Los Caimanes (recorded in 1995) with the somewhat older, more rural sound of Los Caporales de Panuco, recorded in 1978.The group takes its name from the small town of Panuco in the northern tip of Veracruz.
Los Caimanes: Felipe Turrubiates Guillén, Joel Monroy Martínez, Basilio Flores González
Los Caporales de Panuco: Salvador Arteaga Perez, David Camacho Zapata, Silverio Delgado Vega

Los Caporales de Panuco |
REVIEW “Los Caimanes are a Huasteca trio from Tamaulipas in Mexico. Los Caporales [are] from the same area . . . Both groups feature . . . violin, jarana, haupanguera, and vocals. This isn't standard Mariachi or Norteño music, but a more rhythmically-varied, driving, rustic sound, featuring soaring high-register violin lines, polyrhythms from the strummed instruments, and emotional vocals . . . The music's history is contained in Dan Sheehy's descriptive notes, and most lyrics (Spanich/English translations) are included. This is another high-quality contribution from Arhoolie's ongoing documentation of Mexican music.”(Kerry Blech — Victory Review) |
