| Biography:Son
of conjunto great Santiago Jiminez, and brother of conjunto
great Flaco Jiminez, Santiago Jiminez Jr. is in his own right
an "ambassador for traditional Tex-Mex accordion music."
So say the liner notes to this compilation of songs by the
San Antonio musician. The works are from his other two Arhoolie
albums: El Mero Mero and Santiago Strikes Back, along with
some material recorded in 1988 but unreleased. The tempos
and styles range from the Tejano mainstay the ranchero to
polkas to mazurkas, boleros, huapangos, and cumbias. Every
facet of the Tex-Mex accordion repertoire is represented.
Realistically, even fans of conjunto might have heard of Santiago's
father and brother before they've heard of him, but if that's
the case, they might be missing out to some degree. Fans of
the genre would likely enjoy this recording, though those
new to the styles might be better suited listening to Flaco
on Los Super Seven's debut album for a start. |
