Antonio Maciel is a young and virile singer from the state of Michoacán who in recent months has created a gran sensación in Mexico as a result of his records for the Mexican Musart label. He sings, plays cornet, guitar, violin, bass and harp, and is learning to master the JARANA, a folk instrument virtually unknown outside of Mexico.
Conducting the two bands behind the passionate Maciel’s singing is Rafael Carrión, of Cananea, Sonora, who is even better known for his motion picture scores.
The result of this unique four-way partnership is an immensely entertaining, extremely musical long-playing record, a session that inspires memories – moods – of the colorful, fresh, rural provinces of Mexico. Maciel sings HUAPANGOS, SON HUASTECOS, and SON JAROCHOS with equal dexterity and enthususiasm.
Thus, SONES MEXICANS is an album quite unlike others. It is not the music of the Continental Hilton or the Bamer cocktail lounge. It is, however, the music that several million Mexicans respond to and love. It deserves a far larger audience.
