Tacho’s Playlist Sabado

Time for some new music to add to the playlist. Enjoy!

La Santa Cecilia – Estrellita – LSC dropped a new tune and video, Estrellita. The video for this cumbia was filmed in Oaxaca and will get one dancing and toe-tapping. Check it out.

Lucky Joe – Me Caiste Del Cielo – From his album, Norteño y Poderoso, filled with classic tunes del pasado, Lucky Joe drops this video of this Cornelio Reyna jewel.

Avizo f/ MarQuell – Te Quiero Te Quiero – Avizo’s latest album, Marching On, highlights the talents of various vocalists. On this Jose Alfredo Jimenez tune, it’s MarQuell’s turn. Of course, we remember him as Mark Ledesma, the former lead vocalist of David Lee Garza y Los Musicales, and now one of the frontpersons of LaDezz. I love what they did with this tune–the horns are amazing.

Tacho’s Playlist Saturday

It’s time for another edition of Tacho’s Playlist Saturday where I highlight some of the newest stuff that has appeared on my radar recently. The music can be Tejano, Onda Chicana, Norteno, Americana, or just about anything that I happen to like. So, here is what I like this week:

Demmi Garcia – Con Tu Amor (f/ David Lee Garza)- Demmi Garcia is an accomplished young vocalist who is showing up on various radars. This ranchera is danceable, no doubt, but her vocals are impressive. That shouldn’t be too surprising because of her family music background, as well as achieving a good foundation with her studies at Berklee College of Music. Anyway, watch out for this sensation, who also appeared on Avizo’s newest album with Aventura De Mi Vida. So, you get a two-fer from Demmi.

David Farias – Por Que Quiero Enamorarme De Ti – The legendary David Farias, founding member of Los Hermanos Farias and Tropa F, continues earning airplay from his first solo album with Freddie Records. He dropped this new cumbia a few weeks ago with its Farias legacy sound, yet in tune to today’s music needs.

The Mavericks – Por Ti – One of my fave groups released a bonus track for their En Espanol album, which has gained much cross-cultural attention. The Mavs are also touring on this latest album released at the start of the pandemic. A little back story: The original English version titled For You was released on one of Malo’s solo albums before The Mavericks reunited in 2012. I love this version, though, with the powerful horn section and the squeezebox magic of Michael Guerra.
