El Triunfo (Sones De La Huasteca)

This is the real son huasteco, for many people the most appealing Mexican country music. On this album it is played by a band raised in the mountains of northern Mexico where the style was born, featuring the intense, passionate violin and the call of the falsetto voice. Although there are hundreds of Huastecan bands playing sones today, los Camperos de Valles are the stars of the local weddings and baptisms, the bars and the brothels of the region. More recently, Heliodoro Copado's fiery, wiry violin and Marcos Hernandez' exceptional falsetto voice have won over crowds in Europe. The trio and their music remain firmly rooted in the highlands of San Luis Potosi. Notes in Spanish.
