Recorded live at cantina El Patio in Piedras Negras, Coah. in the 1970s. Although thirty years old, this is the only live recording ever made by a typical, authentic Norteño conjunto on their home turf in a cantina, singing mostly historic and true narrative ballads from the Texas-Mexico border. This CD includes the original LP album plus a number of previously unissued selections. The LP was also the very first Arhoolie release of this delightful, lilting, regional Mexican country music.
Rubén Castillo Juárez - vocals & accordion, Hilario Gaytán Moreno - vocals & guitar, Ricardo Escalante - bass & vocal on track 13 with Hilario, Rumel Fuentes - guide, gritos & vocal on track 8 with Ruben
