Frida (2002) more music like this

by Elliot Goldenthal

There is always a question, when a composer works on a project set in a culture of which he or she is not actually a part, a project intended for an audience that goes beyond that culture, how closely the composer should hew to the music of the culture itself. Broadway composers, for example, often have employed musical motifs and an instrument or ...

Border (La Linea)

Border (La Linea) (2001) more music like this

by Lila Downs

Lila Downs' second release for Narada World reflects her continuing fascination with Mexican-American border culture.

On the first few tracks, Downs' ...

Worksongs (2003) more music like this

by Quetzal

If Martha Gonzales -- one of Quetzal's lead vocalists -- decided to become a full-time soul or urban contemporary singer, she would probably have a bright future in the R&B field. Gonzales has a very soul-influenced vocal style, and she's quite expressive. But then, someone as eclectic as Gonzales would probably be selling herself short if she ...

La Bamba: Sones Jarochos From Veracruz (2003) more music like this

by Jose Gutierrez & Los Hermanos Ochoa

The title track from Smithsonian Folkways' La Bamba: Sones Jarochos From Veracruz is the instantly recognizable Mexican folk song (originally from the early 1800s) made popular in the '50s by Ritchie Valens, but here it is transported back to its roots as a son jarocho (a type of lively rural folk song from Veracruz).

Explorer Series: Mexico - Fiestas of Chiapas and Oaxaca (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

Mexico's southern provinces were still extremely rural in 1976, when this set was first released -- and remain so today. And in rural societies tradition tends to linger. This fiesta music has a rugged beauty about it, and a celebratory fervor that starts on "Son Sventa N'Ahaul San Lorenzo," where the fireworks exploding over the village can ...
