notes

From a revue by New Mexico Magazine:

"The lead singers of the popular strolling acoustic group, Los Primos, produced this CD. Band members join as guests along with other performers.

They've recorded five selections of some of their most requested romantic ballads to serenade someone on special occasions. While three of these ("Crei,""Las Maninitas" and "Malaguena") are popular Spanish standards in the area, they are done exceptionally well and feature both Juan Lucero's and Felipe Ruibal's warm, rich voices. The two met in 1998 while attending New Mexico State University in Las Cruces and have played off and on with most of the other musicians since then.

Lucero says the group's sound reflects what people call the trio romantico-style popularized in the '40 and '50s in Mexico. Because they use traditional instruments such as the guitarron (larger bass guitar), requinto(a higher pitched lea guitar) and the vihueal (the highest pitched guitar) folds often refer to them as mariachis. But they want people to know that they do not use trumpets.

They've also included a strirring rendition of an oldies medley sung in English, with such favorites as "Oh Donna,""Earthe Angel" and a Spanish renditionof "The still of the Night."

Ruibal's poignant origianl Spanish song, "Cinco Sentidos," expressed the sentiment of someone left only with tthe memories of the five sensed of someone who's goin-- because of liefe circumstatnces, such a military duty. This CD would be a perfrect gift for someone serving overseas.
