4 out of 5 stars Aniversario 100: Canciones Mexicanas Que Canta el Mundo.......2005-09-30

Great authentic Mariachi music by the best.

5 out of 5 stars excellent !.......2005-05-20

This is one of the best albums of mariachi music I ever owned, I carry it with me to play it on the subway, and in my car. Most of the songs are popular, but it's still wonderful to listen. thier intereptation of Besame Mucho is still the best, and this song has been sang by almost everybody who can sing. I especially love La Malaguena, Las Mananitas and Cucurrucu Paloma. This CD is a delight, a must have for evert music fan.

1 out of 5 stars mariachi lite.......2005-04-28

bought this on recommendation of other online reviewers...sorry i did...far too much orchestration for my tastes.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2003-12-09

If you are only going to own one CD of Mariachi music, then do your pocketbook a favor & purchase this CD. Its the best CD put out by the 4th Generation line-up, as it contains the best versions of most of the music interpreted here (La Malaguena, Son de la Negra, etc.,). As a side note, Vargas has issued several CDs since this one that have not made it through the distribution channels in the U.S. or Mexico! One of these albums, Penas-Desenganos y Amores, has the version of "El Cascabel" from the PBS special "Mariachi Spirit of Mexico" It is a real shame/loss if the greatest Mariachi cannot get distributed. You can listen to clips from that CD on the Marichi Vargas website www.mariachivargas.com.mx - if you enjoy it then please join me in sending an e-mail to Amazon customer service to request the CD.

5 out of 5 stars A rich Mariachi experience........2002-07-05

Beautiful vocals backed by rich instrumental accompaniment. An authentic Mariachi experience. If I were to have only one CD of Mariachi music, this would be it.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent sampling of authentic Mariachi........2006-11-05

The selections on this recording are outstanding, as are the members of
the band who sing and play in true, exciting, Mariachi fashion. Unlike
the "Hollywood" Mariachis who seem loud and boisterous, this group is
professional and true to tradition. Fun and excellent listining.

5 out of 5 stars Valses Mexicanos.......2007-03-19

this is the premier mariachi in Mexico. This group is very well known and their recording of Valses Mexicanos is superb.

5 out of 5 stars Probably the best recordings ever by Mexico's best mariachi.......2004-12-20

Beautifully recorded renditions of Mexico's most beloved waltzes, Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán performs in a way that many of them will bring tears to your eyes. Songs are of lost loves, lost loved ones, happiness, youth, "to laugh crying," and a beautiful one of Oaxaca's most famous composer, Macedonio Alcalá: "Dios Nunca Muere."

5 out of 5 stars Straight From Heaven.......2002-12-25

The music on this CD will reach right down to your soul and will mesmerize you taking you to another place in time. Absolutely beautiful!

5 out of 5 stars The best pasodobles.......2007-04-24

Originally conceived as music for La Fiesta Brava or bullfight, the pasodobles presented here by Mariachi Vargas are some of the best within their genre. Whether you love the music of the bullfight or are into ballroom dancing the pasodoble has a catching and infectous, unique style. Filled with emotion the songs sing of passion and evoke the strongest feelings. Seven of the songs are written about famous bullfighters beginning with the "Lorenzo Garza", "Juan Silveti", the great Spaniard "Carlos Arruza", "Capetillo", "Fermin", "Curro Venzor" and the recently departed great Mexican "Silverio" Perez. The homage to La Fiesta Brava and it's best proponents is a thing of beauty. The songs are quite famous amongst aficionados of bullfighting and most recently given new life by ballroom dancing. Not being into ballroom dancing I was surprised to hear pasodobles being used on a television show my wife was watching and had to take a peak. I was surprised but the music does lend itself to dancing quite well. This explains why this is the top selling mariachi disc at Amazon as of this writting. I am sure Maraich Vargas is quite pleased now even though this vintage release was not intended for ballroom dancing but rather for aficionados of La Fiest Brava. Mariachi Vargas is arguably the best mariachi group in the world and you can't go wrong with these interpretations. The arrangements are the best as are the chosen musicians. If you are in the Mariachi Vargas it is because you are the best at what you do. I would recommend this disc for anyone into ballroom dancing or if you just like mariachi or La Fierta Brava.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Mariachi.......2004-01-27

Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan are known as the best mariachi in the world, and it is definitely for a reason. The musicianship is tight, with all of the guitars, trumpets, and strings executed perfectly and beautifully. The beauty, quality, and precision of this recording is so well-executed that one could very well mistake the songs for being performed by an entire orquestra (as opposed to what is really an ancient folk ensemble)! That being said, one must understand a little bit about the pasodoble before really understanding the album. Pasodobles are Spanish marches that traveled to Latin America during the existence of the vast Spanish empire. It thrived in many different Spanish colonies, particularly those in which the old Spanish tradition of bullfighting was popular; however, both bullfighting and the pasodoble became extremely prolific in Mexico. Today, the pasodoble exists as both the traditional music for bullfights as well as a type of song used for ballroom dancing. The songform itself is very interesting; it seems to be a fusion of North African/Moorish melodies with western rhythms and instrumentation. It is particularly beautiful when played by a mariachi ensemble, of which it seems almost made for. In fact, most mariachi groups include at least a few pasodobles in their sets. The song "Lorenzo Garza" makes a perfect introduction to the album, functioning as a strong beckon to the listener. "Por Tapatias" boasts an impressive opening trumpet, and the famous "Juan Silveti" is perhaps the most exciting song on the album, with it's slightly brooding mood. Also, "La Machicha" is a nice addition as well, as it is perhaps one of the "cutest" pasodobles ever composed. Of course, this is all made possible by the capable hands of the world-renown Mariachi Vargas. For a good taste of old Mexico, this is an excellent album of beautiful and exciting music, and a wonderful addition to the many excellent recordings of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan. Classic mariachi in its entirety!

      This is a great CD considering it old. I think it was recorded back in the 50's. If you like Sones de Jalisco by the same group, then you should check this one out too.

        4 out of 5 stars Vargas with strings front and center.......2007-04-12

        Danzon might not leap to mind as the most interesting vehicle for mariachi, but when you consider that mariachi was originally centered on the strings, the danzon is pretty decent way to hear something of what the mariachi sounded like before it became a trumpet band.
        Of course Vargas is just flat out perfect. Mariachi doesn't get any better than this. The strings are in tune and vibrato is limited to phrase ends and cadences. The sound has a very traditional feel to it. The guitarón, guitaras and vilahuelas produce a wonderfully organic rythm section to keep the danzon moving. The trumpets are mostly subdued and playing a highlighting role. All in all the interpretations are very convincing.
        This is Mariachi music of a lazy sunday afternoon.

        5 out of 5 stars Mexican Mariachi Successfully Interprets Cuban Dance Form.......2006-06-25

        No, these are NOT waltzes (see uninformed review below), but danzones. Both types of music are for dancing, but a waltz is in 3/4 time and a danzon is in 4/4, resulting in two very different kinds of physical response. Cubans brought danzon to Veracruz, where it took on a distinctly Mexican flavor, and where the dance remains wildly popular even today. Vargas has interpreted this music using the instrumentation of the Mexican mariachi. You will not hear a typical piano here - instead, the violins play the guajeo, as they would in a charanga format, and the vihuela and guitar replace the congas. Not many mariachi groups keep danzones in their repertoire, and the fact that Vargas recorded an entire album of this music is a testament to the group's integrity.

        Boy do I take a step back in time when I listen to these beautiful waltzes! They are rich in form and body. A wonderful treat for the ears and for the soul!
