"This classic late 1960's album by the most important Mariachi ensemble features their remarkable performances of the famous "Jarabe Tapatio" (hat dance) and a furious arrangement of the popular "La Bamba" that shows great respect for the original *Son Jarrocho* from Vera Cruz. This CD will make you want to stomp out a *zapateado.* Indespensible for all Mariachi fans."
Real neat one

"I really miss the genre recordings of mariachis. I miss the days when they would put out a simple recoding of just "sones," "Danzones," "Pasodobles," etc. This is from "golden age" of Mariachi Vargas. I always liked "La Bamba" on this album and the rest of the songs are exciting also. They go from region to region. They are simple songs, but played extremely well."
