Chulas Fronteras and Del Mero Corazón

Various Artists
Chulas Fronteras and Del Mero Corazón

The music in this recording is drawn from two documentary films, “Chulas Fronteras” (Beautiful Borderlands) and “Del Mero Corazón” (Straight from the Heart). The two films focused on the role of Musica Norteña, more commonly called Tex-Mex or Conjunto, a regional music popular along the Texas-Mexico border. The album features music of early performers Narciso Martínez, Lydia Mendoza, Santiago Jiménez and Los Alegres de Terán and emerging artists Flaco Jiménez and Rumel Fuentes with the Los Pinguinos del Norte. The liner notes provide song lyrics in Spanish and English and background information about each performer.
