This morning the song<em> Besame Mucho<\/em> from the CD has been stuck in my head. I spent some time looking up the history of the song and some other versions on YouTube. I was of course familiar with The Beatles version but this is my new favorite.<\/p>\n<p>Mariachi Flor de Toloache was the opening band in the Symphony&#8217;s Dia de los Muertos concert a couple of weeks ago. I thought I had given them a shout out in this blog but I couldn&#8217;t find it. They were awesome! Nice people and great music. It&#8217;s in the mariachi tradition but different. The lead singer, Shae Fiol, has an amazing instrument that I happened to get an up close taste of during rehearsal when I had to go out to adjust a mic stand.

They were good too but they didn&#8217;t grab me the same way. I bought a couple of their CDs but haven&#8217;t given them the full listening treatment yet. They seem to be more from the Tex-Mex tradition with the accordion and electric bass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s rare that I play a CD in its entirety over and over but I&#8217;ve been doing that the last couple of days with a new CD I got by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[121],"tags":[147],"class_list":["post-350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music","tag-mariachi-flor-de-toloache"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":352,"href":"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350\/revisions\/352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
