ALBUM

ALEJANDRO FERNÁNDEZ: Mi verdad

Alejandro Fern‡ndez

FOLK

If you are like having a cup of Tequila you should listen to Alejandro. This recording was released in 1999 featuring a hot try of Mariachi music. The best of this album is no doubt, the deep velvet-like voice of Alejandro Fernández who inheritated not only his father's talent but the popular audiences preference.

f LILA DOWNS: La Sandunga
Lila Downs: La Sandungaj WORLD MUSIC

Lila Downs gives us the best of deep Southern Mexico; the delicate music from the Oaxaca area. Her versatile voice introduces us to a magic indian and mestizo world and her accurate pronunciation astonishes us no more than the fine musicians and the children’s band which plays with her. A modern classic from a very good independent recording.

Five examples of XXth. Century Classical Music deserve us even more: the excellent Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional. As an introduction you will have Mariachi music which is based in the folk music "Sones" transformed into a simphonic Fiesta along with other four contemporary compositions. An experience to be lived also at the Palacio de Bellas Artes.
