Toda Una Vida

I can't help but notice that too many foreigners don't hire our wandering musicians. Maybe I can help change that. There's so much culture you miss out on when you don't speak the language. So to help out our local duos and trios here's one of Mexico's classic songs so you'll know the name in Spanish of a song to ask for. I'll try to post more songs as time allows.

Much has been written on this subject over the years, so I won't go over old ground.....unless someone particularly wants to.

Although they don't do much "wandering", Solo Tres, a trio of local Zihua musicians, (including a nephew of Jose Luis Cobo) sing all the traditional songs, as well as several from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Venezuela, etc, at various venues around town, including El Pirata on La Ropa on Wednesday afternoons. Some of their memorable numbers are:
Nosotros, Malaguena Salerosa, Cielo Rojo, Perdon, Quien Sera, Son de la Loma, Sabor a Mi, La Gloria Eres Tu, Piel Canela, Chan Chan, Bendito Puerto, Sin Ti, Cucurrucucu Paloma, Te Quiero Dijiste, etc., etc. Yes, they take requests.
Singly, ubiquitous bass player/vocalist Roberto Martinez Sellari plays regularly on Mondays at Jose Luis Cobo's bar, and other venues during the week, while guitarist/singer Edgar Flores Cobo was a regular at Tamales y Atole Any on Calle Ejido for the past couple of years. Edgar's mentor, guitarist/vocalist Miguel Quimiro Rincon, picks up regular gigs around town as well.
These guys are wonderful. We can't make it to Zihua this year, but thank goodness we have all their CDs.
