Album Description

At the end of the last century, while the representative music of Mexico was emerging in the state of Jalisco, Mexican-Americans in the United States continued to cultivate their own traditions. Among the most valued aspects of their heritage was music.

In 1964, an Irish-Catholic priest organized the first young Mariachi group of Mexican-Americans in the United States. Later, in 1971, after having collaborated almost from the birth of this group, Randy Carrillo, a student, organized Mariachi Cobre with the participation of his younger brother Steve and his friend Mack Ruiz.

1996 marks a quarter century during which this extremely professional group of young Mexican-American men (nearly all from Tucson) have sung and played the music of Mexico, not only in the United States but as ambassadors in other countries and via international television.

In 1981, Mariachi Cobre planted the seed from which the Tucson International Mariachi Conference would grow. This celebration is a concept that has spread to other U.S. cities where similar events are held. These cultural events have not only increased the exposure of Mariachi music but have caused an emergence of dozens of young groups and have heightened the level of study related to Mariachi music.

The XXV anniversary celebration is a source of pride for the renowned Mariachi Cobre who, with their strong sense of tradition, promotes the music of Mexico to the entire world.

From "Ugly Little Monkeys" to "The Best in Mariachi Music".......2004-11-29

I grew up with Randy and Stevie Carrillo when we were kids on Eastland St. in Tucson. I was always envious (in a good way) at how well they played Mariachi Music when they first started out with Los Changitos Feos (Ugly Little Monkeys). I had heard them play many times with Changos, but did not have the chance to follow their careers until recently. I am ashamed to say I sure missed a lot, but I can "catch up" with all of their CD's. Mac Ruiz was also a distant friend, and he as well as the rest of the Changos have surely gone far in their careers. It must make their parents and families extrememly proud of them. If you want a REAL SAMPLE of what Mariachi music is all about, buy any one of their CD's. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. (But your legs and feet will be tired from keeping the beat!!!)

It's amazing that such a mariachi exists.......2003-09-14

Probably the best interpreters of the son jalisciense today, Cobre begins with the son "El Jilguerillo." This son has not been recorded a lot. I remember only Mariachi Oro y Plata and some really old recordings of Mariachi Vargas and Mariachi Tapatio. Mariachi Camperos recently recorded it. Steve Carrillo is perhaps one of the best arrangers in mariachi today. Listen, especially, to how the violins match the vihuala strumming. Their son duet singing is very good, although I would have like that they just stuck to two singers instead of switching every verse. "Popurri Pancho Villa" is one of my all time favorites. They give those yells reminicent of Franciso "El Charro" Avita and their corrido duets sould wonderful. Franciso Grijalva, Cobre's guitarrist has been a longtime fan of the nostalgia generation of Mexican music. His arrangement of "Maria Elena" is very beautiful. I have never heard a mariachi perform it with the lyrics. Steve Carrillo sings it with good style. Remember that this was one of the world's most famous songs when it came out. All I can say is "wow" to their renditin of Los Arrieros. There has not been such a good rendition of this son since Mariachi Vargas "Sones de Jalisco" album. There is a little bridge that is an honor to Mariachi Mexico's recordings with Memo Quintero and and Pepe Gutierrez in their album "El Autentico Son Jalisciense." With exception of Los Camperos, most show mariachis butcher sones jaliscienses today. There are some very well done trio boleros. "La Barca" has just a few year before been rerecorded by Luis Miguel and gained a huge following. Los Hnos. Cantoral made it a hit many years ago. I liked Molina's interpretation there as well has the trio arrangements. "Cuando Lloran Los Hombres" is sung by Randy Carillo. Randy only sung one song on their first album. He's come a long way with this Jose Alfredo classic. Mack Ruiz sings a good "El Cenzontle." Anyone going to Cobre's workshops at mariachi conferences remembers this song. Lalo Guerrero has been a hero to many of Cobre's members, most of them being from Tucson, AZ. Guerrero's classic "Nunca Jamas" is given here.

I first saw "Popurri Jorge Negrete" when Univision use to televise the Tucson mariachi conference. Steve Carrillo starts off with a good "Dulce Patria" and "Noche Plateada" Few can match Negrete, but Carrillo comes close. What I love is Mack Ruiz low voice in "Cuando Quiere Un Mexicano." Randy Carrillo sings "Tequila con Limon" with oumph. Miguel Martinez "La chuparrosa" is a trumpet gem. Steve Carrillo and Israel really pull it off well.

An excellent album whether one is an established mariachi fan or a newcomer. The production values are outstanding, the instrumentation unbelievably tight, and the vocals enormously pleasing. In mariachi, Everybody Sings, and this album makes you glad they do! Los Changitos Feos have come a long way, and this is probably their best album to date. My only complaint is that they should record more.

muy muy muy bueno muy mucho mas mas bueno.......2001-05-17
