Details:
A hint of (late) Little Joe and The Latinaires and (early) Little Joe, Johnny y La Familia, a taste of Sunny and the Sunliners, the Latin Breed and other bands of that era, the late 60âs and early 70âs when Tejano Music came into itself. This describes what I call âTrue Tejano Musicâ and this is what New Mexicoâs Royal Family of Music Mr. Gilbert Lopez Sr. and his sonâs Jerry and Lenny (of the band Santa Fe and The Fat City Horns) have captured and personified in their new CD âMis Raicesâ. Rich in Tejano Music style and cultural spirit âMis Raicesâ brings the past into the future with dynamic arrangements of beautifully voiced horn and rhythm harmonies, reeds dancing around brass movements much like the arrangements that gave birth to âTejano Musicâ when performed by none other than the Godfather of âTrue Tejano Musicâ himself, Isidro Lopez. But it is the 21 Century and True Tejano Music has matured immensely, with much more sophisticated chord progressions and such perfect execution of each and every note that it motivates even the dead to rise and dance to this glorious music. But what would drive an artist that has traveled the world performing with some of the Smooth Jazz giants like Grover Washington Jr. and the great Tom Scott with whom Jerry recorded the mega world wide hit âSarah Sarahâ to turn to Tejano music? Itâs been his first love even as a young boy, and after having toured the world over he was compelled to record songs composed by his farther whoâs prolific writing is to be appreciated and recognized among the best. Which brings me to my favorite part of the CD, the vocals, there are few singers that move me deep down inside my heart and soul inspiring me to pursue the life long quest of excellence in song, Jerry is such a singer, soulful, tantalizing and sincere, without boundaries. And you will be equally moved by Jerry and Lennyâs duets in perfect harmony, a thing of beauty. They may be from New Mexico but their hearts are 100 percent Tejano!! Beautiful music, awesome songs and incredible vocals, this is what the CD âMis Raicesâ is all about. Let the healing begin.
