Exiquatros (Exitos 4)

More of the dumb naming convention that only I understand. I made a few mistakes on this one, but I will not point them out. I did have the smarts to include the first few tracks for dinner music on this pick. I really like Jorge Santana's album. Brother of Carlos. And also Malo. Both tracks are timeless. I finally included Santana doing his version, but try to play Tito Puente whenever I can first. It's a good enough song that you will get asked to play it again. Los Lobos did a great version of what I consider Vicente Fernandez' classic. I added more salsa and more cumbia and more banda and more norteno. The track I need to talk about was the track that was my dad's favorite version of what is often played as a mariachi song, by Los Fabulosos 3 Paragauyos. That song is a great one to request if a mariachi band ever comes to play at your table. Looking for that version led me to many other versions by many other bands and I will post that compilation some time in the future (tomorrow). Sorry, but this is the last of this series for now. More will come, I'm sure.
