This really is not a new CD and I found another one amongst the San Patricio books. But like anything that Ry Cooder does it is excellent. The selection of contemporary singers that were selected to participate is excellent. Lila Downs for example who is Oaxacan and Irish is a prime example. Few people know about the San Patricios and what better way to teach them than to have them learn the songs. This CD could also be used in an advance eSpanish class. It is to bad that you can't put CD players in your car anymore they have gone to Blue diente. I would study Mexican history as I drove by listening to Corridos, it also improved my listening and vocabulary of eSpanish. Loved it and recommend you buy one or dos.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Very festive Mexican music with some Irish musical input from time to time. As far as I am concerned, Ry Cooder's singing could have been left out.
