Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano - Tradici�n, Arte y Pasi�n

Grounded in tradition, shaped by artistry, and fueled by passion, Grammy-winning Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano made its name by taking its music to a new realm of creativity and audience engagement. Their fifth Smithsonian Folkways title, Tradici�n, Arte y Pasi�n drinks from the well of the expansive �golden age� of mariachi music in the 1940s and 1950s to artfully conjure a sound as fresh and contemporary today as it was then. New, yet old, and exploiting the broad, sonorous palette of mariachi instrumentation, the album reflects Cano�s musical approach: �love, dedication, discipline, pride�and be aggressive.� Further, the album pays tribute to mariachi legend and group founder Nati Cano, who passed away in late 2014. 39 minutes, 36-page booklet with bilingual notes and photos.
