Location: Texas | Sergio Lara has announced the release of his newest solo recording, "Guitars & Mandolins". On the album Sergio plays all the instruments including mandolin, acoustic guitar, Spanish guitar and banjo.
The new recording includes many old traditional tunes called "Corridos" made popular in the early 20th century during the Mexican Revolution (1910) like La Adelita, La Valentina and La Cucaracha. Also included are some of the well known American fiddle tunes like Wayfaring Stranger, Red Hair Boy, Old Joe Clark and many more.
Some of this string band music was originally played by rural people and was the first real "Vaquero" music from around the Mexico/US border, from the times before Bluegrass music and even before Robert Johnson's blues recordings, popular during an era when music was played in parlors and around the campfire.
Selections:
La Valentina
La Rielera
Wayfaring Stranger
Carabina 30-30
La Adelita
Red Hair Boy
La Cucaracha
El Rancho Grande
Old Joe Clark
La Martina
Dusty Miller
Las Mañanitas
Long Journey Home
Paddy On the Turnpike
This new CD is now available only as a digital release on iTunes, Amazon, and many other music download websites.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I love Serge's music. Now and then, he offers one of his guitars for sale here on the boards. Keep your eye open. He has really nice gear. | |
