"When listening to this CD, it is clear that Jose Hernandez wanted to make this CD to show that Mariachi is capable of so much and that they should be respected for their great musicianship. Poeta y Campesino is a musical piece that shows this. The arrangements are well done and songs are played with much feeling. If you are looking for a more tradtional album of Mariachi music from Sol de Mexico, Mi Mariachi and Homenaje al Mariachi are good choices."
MARIACHI MUSIC FROM THE HEART

"Simply the best Mariachi music in the world! This CD is much more than beautiful notes, voices, harmony and style. The music transcends all that is wonderful and good in music. This music takes me to an other time and place. A place that I have never been, however in my heart I have been there many times. This place that is so far, yet so near ...is my homeland and the land of my ancestors. This CD truly showcases the outstanding talents of Mariachi Sol de Mexico, which brings to the forefront this joyful and passionate music. This CD should not be missed!"

La Nueva Era del Mariachi Sol de Mexico de Jose Hernandez

"This cd shows that mariachis can keep up with the times. There is the traditional sound as well as the new. "Poeta y Campesino" is absolutely beautiful to me as a violinist for six years. They also show that they can cross over cultures and time with their rendition of Glenn Miller tunes."
