Flaco Jiménez & Max Baca - "Margarita, Margarita" [Studio Session]

Description

GRAMMY-winning conjunto artists Max Baca and Flaco Jiménez perform the classic polca rhythm song "Margarita, Margarita," from their Smithsonian Folkways album 'Legends & Legacies.' The tune was a favorite of Flaco Jiménez's father, Santiago Jiménez, Sr. Produced by Charles Weber and Daniel Sheehy Stream/download/purchase 'Flaco & Max: Legends & Legacies': Smithsonian Folkways: http://www.folkways.si.edu/flaco-jimenez-max-baca/legends-and-legacies/latin/music/album/smithsonian In the world of accordion-driven Tejano conjunto music, GRAMMY award-winners Flaco Jiménez and Max Baca are at once pillars of the past and forgers of the future. 'Legends and Legacies' spotlights these larger-than-life artists, each an inheritor of a musical legacy from his father and grandfather, and each a dynamic force of musical genius. This recording captures the essential sounds of conjunto tradition with Flaco’s 3-row button accordion and Max’s deep-pitched bajo sexto. Electric bass and drum kit round out the ensemble.
