Product description

"Flaco's Amigos," released by the legendary accordionist Flaco Jiménez on January 1, 1988, under Arhoolie Records, is a vibrant fusion of Tejano, Latin country, polka, and Cajun music that spans a concise yet dynamic 43 minutes. This album is a testament to Flaco's versatility and his ability to blend traditional Mexican sounds with other musical genres seamlessly.

The album features a mix of tracks produced in San Antonio, Texas, in 1986, and others recorded in 1987 and 1988, showcasing collaborations with notable musicians like Oscar Telles on bajo sexto and bluegrass artist Peter Rowan on vocals and guitar. The tracklist includes a diverse range of songs, from the lively "The Free Mexican Air Force" to the tender ballad "I'm Gonna Love You, like There Is No Tomorrow," offering a rich tapestry of musical experiences.

Originally released on vinyl, "Flaco's Amigos" comes with a 12-page booklet, adding depth to the listening experience. The album's production quality and the blend of traditional and contemporary sounds make it a standout in Flaco Jiménez's discography. Whether you're a fan of Tejano music or simply appreciate well-crafted, genre-blending music, "Flaco's Amigos" is an essential addition to your collection.

This LP was released in 1989.

Foot-Stompin' Album Joy
5 out of 5 stars

Haven't had the chance to listen to this album yet? Do yourself a favor and find a copy. It's gotta be one of the most foot-stompin' and toe-tappin' albums I've ever come across - it's sure to snap anyone out of a funk. I caught Flaco's live performance with Ry Cooder, and that electric energy shines through just as brightly on this record.
Energetic Album to Revive

Haven't given this album a spin yet? Go find it, it's got to be one of the most lively and energetic records I've ever come across - it's sure to snap anyone out of a funk. I caught Flaco performing live with Ry Cooder and that electric vibe comes through amazingly well on this one.
