There are some types of music that seem absolutely timeless and that make you feel like you're in the tropics no matter where you are. Los Panchos is a group originally formed in New York City back in 1944 by two Mexicans and a Puerto Rican. Their romantic boleros came to define the genre. The group still exists as new musicians replace the old, and they continue to define the genre and remain the standard throughout Latin America. One of their songs that should have most anyone's toes tapping (except Craig AKA the cruise ship guy) is Vagabundo. I hope you like it and that you'll remember to ask for it. This is a great dance-in-the-sand kind of song.

Trio Los Panchos are wonderful
No Me Ofendas is also a gem to request

Thank you Rob for reminding me of Zihuatanejo's amazing Brothers.
Great souls.

All I'm saying is that I'll support the music that I enjoy and you can support the music that you enjoy. You were the one that wanted tourists such as myself help support these musicians. No need to get feathers ruffled. Happy Super Sunday.

At the risk of sacrilege, I might also suggest Eydie Gorme's album(s) she made with Los Panchos, as well as Nat King Cole's Spanish-language LP(s), and Linda Ronstadt's Canciones de mi Padre, especially my favourite of those songs, La Barca de Guaymas.

This a beautiful record which I play on every flight to Zihua. Local bands play Y Andalay for me. It is a drinking song.
Get On With It
What will they say those in your house
When they see me drinking,
Will they think that it's on account of you
That I live my life drinking
Get on with it.
But if you could see
How pretty these binges are
Get on with it.
(Chorus)
But until whenever
Your parents stop protecting you
Get on with it.
Each time that I come to see you
I'm always slipping;
Is it that I have bad luck
Or is it that it's drizzling on me,
Get on with it.
But if you could see
Me dry my chaco in my flowering fig tree grove
Get on with it.
(Chorus)
But if ever
I dry my chaco in my flowering fig tree grove,
Get on with it.
You say that I'm a fool,
Because i'm always getting drunk,
And in spite of your scorn,
I want to keep on drinking,
Get on with it.
But if you were to see
How pretty these binges are,
Get on with it.
(Chorus)
But how beautiful
Are the hours I spend emptying bottles,
Get on with it.
