Mexican Polka Music

if i went to mexico, i would be the best bass player in the world!

...at approximatlely 9:00 every morning my hispanic neighbors BLARE polka music!!!! deh duh deh duh deh....im sure you could imagine it!

LET MI SLEEP MI AMIGOS!

 

lot of good bass instructors in mexico?

never heard hispanic polka; i'm intrigued.

 

that's probably the same shit I hear everyday. that bump, bump, bump ba ba bump idiotically happy bass driven shit.

 

lol,, its not the polka.. its just a similar rhythm...they dance the quebradita to it not the polka..

 

I like your erowid shirt.

 

yeah i dont think its proper polka music, but as i understand it there was a lot of musical influence from german settlers

 

i lived once in a neighborhood full of mexican migrant workers and heard the music morning and night. Sometimes it was uplifting when depressed, other times it just got on my nerves.

Of course american rap blaring and booming all hours of hte day and night get on my nerves as well, really any music loud enough to be heard from another dwelling is too much.

 

yep thats correct.. the actual term for the music is banda..

 

Gods...I miss Mariachi music....I grew up 12 miles from the mexican border

 

cojunto, tejano music,

mexican folk music with heavy german folk influences "mexican polka"

I've been trying to find a nice playlist of it actually, I like some of it, but I never catch song titles, or musician names.

 

those are spin offs of banda.. the original german influenced music is banda..


some to look into dave.. banda r-15, arcangel, tejanos del norte, los bondadosos, banda machos, banda 30-30, Alacranes,el recodo (most famous), el limon

 

will I have to filter through thousands of songs to find decent ones?

 

the ones listed you shouldnt.. this is of course assuming that you really do like that style of music..

those are some of our personal favorites that we have listened to for years..

 

just about every song tejanos del norte has is about running drugs,,hell all of them are influenced heavily by the drug trade..

 

whatever the fuck it is...its extremely annoying at 9 in the morning on a sunday.

 

I thought it was called Herb Alpert music.

.

 

herb alpert sucks.

but thats waaaaaaay off from what is being discussed.
