The accordian has always been and always will be the poor man's Orchestra. It's the music of the working class. Be it in Spanish, German or Polish the accordian hits every one's heart. Music is the voice of a person's soul.
invaluble, it needs to be permantently documented... This is OUR culture.... Hell how many second and third generation Mexicans want and NEED this music... WE ARE HUNRGRY!
El Sr del saxofon en el minuto 4:41 es Don Jose Gonzalez Perez fundador del Legendario Conjunto Norteño Los Gorriones del Topo Chico formados en el año 1944, don Pepe Gonzalez pionero tambien del acordeon en el area de Monterrey
As a native New Mexican growing up in the 1940s and 1950s I remember dances that played traditional Violin and Guitar music from Spain, but later trumpets and drums were added and adopted by New Mexico artists like Al Hurricane, etc. The accordion was added when "Tejanos" (native Texans/Mexicans) from Texas migrated to the U.S. and brought the accordion which they integrated in our native New Mexican music.
I can' believe I found my dad in this video after so many years!!!! I did not know he was in it!! he probably did not know!! that is crazy!! that is his Cantina!! some of cousins are in the too!! I wonder where was I??? mhmhm !!! anyway who is the author of this documentary?? good job!!
This is great for Texmex/Mex and believe it or not, German culture.... Best of the best. So glad your family is invlolved. You are blessed. Bless us with names... They need to be known!!!
Se me hace que el señor que toca el Sax, es el maestro Don Jose Gonzalez Perez de los Gorriones del Topo Chico quien inicio tocando el acordeon desde muy chico alla por los años 20's y despues fue unos de los primeros en meterle saz a la musica norteña, y creo que esa cantina que no es la que estaba en la calle Teran, aqui en el Topo Chico en frente d elo que era el Rincon Norteño.
Asil es es don José gzz Pérez creador de la mescla del saxofón y el acordeon y creador del estilo y son sus hijos los que lo acompañan el la José gzz jr batería , francisco gzz bass ,José Luis Uribe bajo sexto,armando Mireles acordeon
I think the time this music became played in Mexico lines up perfectly with the mennonites and Texas German folk. I think it’s ignorant almost to not recognize these events influencing one another
gerry ese no es romulo, mameinconjuto tiene razon, son los gorriones del topo!! esa era la cantina de mi papa que estaba por la topo chico en frente del el 5 de febreo donde se hacian los bailes!!! que raro encontrar esto!!!!
You could compare it to American English and British English. They come from a common origin. Although it’s completely wrong to say ones better than the other, or more proper.
