You've taken a turn into a world of Latino music that's underneath what you hear on the radio and see on TV. For instance, the traditional Mexican guitar music of Frank Corrales brings back to life the "epoca de oro" or golden age of Mexican song of the 1940s and 1950s. It's the melodies made famous by singers like Jose Alfredo Jimenez and polkitas and cumbias played in the dance halls and weddings.

Then there is the flamenco guitar from Spain and all of it's derivatives. We also invite you to explore the spiritual side of Latino music with music written as far back as the 1500s to honor the Virgin of Guadalupe as well as some of the guitar tunes you might have heard this Sunday. In short this these CDs represent the roots and soul of the Latino music of the Southwest and Mexico.
