20 Apr 02 - 09:36 PM (#694600) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: masato sakurai A lot of songs in Spanish are collected HERE; some with MIDI. There're 23 songs (texts only) HERE (presumably Mexican). There's a MIDI only site HERE (LA GRANDE MUSICA HISPANO AMERICANA). For Mariachi songs, THIS would be the best. Musical Spanish Songs (part of MUSICAL SPANISH), containing 10 songs, is intended for educational purposes, with detailed instructional information. ~Masato |

20 Apr 02 - 10:27 PM (#694634) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) The Mariachi website pointed out by Masato has many of the old "pop" songs as well, inc. Besame Mucho, and cultural songs such as Quatro Milpas. Good site. Thanks, Masato. |

19 Dec 03 - 10:45 PM (#1076626) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: GUEST,rtweiten@pressenter.com I am looking for the Spanish words to the Mexican song La Cumba, Cumba, Cumba, Cumba Ciero. I'm not sure that I have the spelling right or that the song is listed by the first line, but I've heard it, like it and would like to learn it. Thanks for any help you can offer. |

20 Dec 03 - 02:50 PM (#1076914) Subject: Cumbanchero (Rafael Hernandez) From: Joe Offer Hi, rtweiten - I did this Google Search (click) and came up with a number of possibilities. This page (click) had lyrics that sounded familiar to me. The page attributes the song to Rafael Hernandez, and I have verified that attribution from other sources. This I Love Lucy Page also has the lyrics - Desi Arnaz introduced the song in the movie Cuban Pete (Cuban bandleader Desi Arnaz was the husband of comedienne Lucille Ball). Amazon.com has 175 recordings of "Cumbanchero" listed, including recordings by Desi Arnaz, Ferrante and Teicher, David Grisman (!!!), Ruben Gonzalez, Xavier Cougat and Liberace. Hey, and the Ventures recorded it, too. I sure would like to hear the Grisman recording, or the one by Ruben Gonzalez. Hope that's the one you want. -Joe Offer (e-mail sent)-

20 Dec 03 - 06:39 PM (#1077018) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: Q (Frank Staplin) Joe, Escamillo referenced "Cumbanchero" before you, but put it in Spanish Songs (thread 5667) because it isn't Mexican. The words in the site used by him for this song by Rafael Hernández are different from those used by Desi Arnaz and his band: First verse- same, except priquití not normally hyphenated. El Cumbanchero Rafael Hernández A cumba, cumba, cumba cumbanchero, A bongo, bongo bongosero. Priquití que va sonando el cumbachero, bongocero que se va. A va a suena así el tambor, boroquití, bumbumbá. Y vuelve a repicar, biriquití bumbumbá A va y suena así el tambor, boroquití bumbumbá. Y vuelve a repicar, biriquití, bumbambá |

20 Dec 03 - 08:20 PM (#1077078) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: Joe Offer Click here for a page of Cuban MIDI files, including "Cumbanchero." Oh, so THAT's the tune. It's not what I was thinking of. Here is a page of "Latin" MIDI's.
Italiam fato profugus Laviniaque venit Litora -- multum ille et terris jactatus et alto Vi superum, saevae memorem Junonis ob iram, Multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem Inferretque deos Latio -- genus unde Latinum Albanique patres atque altae moenia Romae. The All-Music Guide has only a brief biography of Hernandez:

20 Dec 03 - 08:49 PM (#1077092) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: Joe Offer As Q pointed out, Rafael Hernández was not Mexican - but I hate to separate an answer from a request. He was a Puerto Rican who moved to New York, but his music is popular in all Latin countries. There is a more detailed biography (with sound clips) at http://www.musicofpuertorico.com. Hernández was born in Puerto Rico in 1892, and died in 1965. This page is a collection of MIDI transcriptions of his music. -Joe Offer- |

29 Jun 04 - 04:03 PM (#1216495) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: GUEST,unapaloma1 I am really interested in Mexican Music, especially ranchera and revolucion music. I have figured out what some mean, such as Una Paloma Blanca and Cielito Lindo, La Llorna, Cuatro Milpas, but I would like to know what De Colores, La Valentina, Cucurrucucu Plaoma mean, not the translation, the meanings if possible. Any help would be appreciated. I have several others too. Thanks. J. McLaughli unapaloma1@comcast.net |

29 Jun 04 - 06:08 PM (#1216575) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: Q (Frank Staplin) Do you mean Spanish rather than Mexican? Una paloma blanca is 18th c. Spanish. Or have I the wrong song? Una paloma blanca como la nieve me ha picado en el alma, mucho me duele. Etc. |

30 Jun 04 - 07:20 PM (#1217366) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: Q (Frank Staplin) "Jarabe tapatío" is the name of the 'Mexican hat Dance," which came from Jalisco, the charros (cowboys) of the cattle industry. There seems to be a tendency to call anything with a Spanish name Mexican. The "Curu...paloma" by Tómas Méndez is an Argentine huapango. Allan Sherman provided the best American lyrics for the 'hat dance.' |

14 Jul 04 - 04:33 PM (#1225510) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: GUEST,Andrew Robinson Does anyone know if Rafael Hernández wrote the tune to Cubanchero, or did he add words to an old tune? There is a recording of it in a reggae version, called "Psychedelic Rock" on a Studio One album. (I heard this version first.) Thankyou to anyone who can help. |

29 Sep 04 - 11:32 PM (#1284596) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: Cornflake Probably no help but my group has done La Golondrina and La Bamba (which existed before the pop hit). I'm pretty sure the latter is Mexican. I think La Golondrina is but I'm not sure. Both are easy. |

30 Sep 04 - 12:18 AM (#1284622) Subject: RE: Mexican Folk Songs From: Q (Frank Staplin) Cornflake, both are Mexican. La Bamba originally from Vera Cruz, at least 100 years old, now with hundreds (or more) verses. La Golondrina has been called the Mexican "Home Sweet Home." |

Oh graceful swallow bear a message of love For on your journey, lies the land of my heart As down you sweep, shed my blessings upon them that tell of love which in my heart still burns Among those shores are all that i care or live for My home my loved ones, waiting for my return Then glide downwards as you see from above A sea swept isle from which we had to part Each winter long console me in my dreaming And you fond swallow on your gleaming wings Will speed as i would wish i could go speeding Straight to their hearts, and with you my love bring Oh graceful swallow . . .

Here it comes...(known by Trini Lopez and others) Si Adelita se fuera con otro Le seguiria en la - sin cessar Si por mar en un buque de guerra Si por tierra en un tren militar Si Adelita quisiera ser mi esposa Si Adelita fuera mi mujer Le compraría um vestido de seda Para llevarla a bailar al quartel Adelita se llama la joven A quien yo adoro y no la puedo olvidar En el campo yo tengo esa rosa Y con el tiempo la voy a cortar Y si acaso yo muero en campaña Y si mi cuerpo en la sierra va a quedar Adelita, por Dios, te lo rego Que con tus ojos me vayas a llorar |
