It won't be everybody's cuppa tea, but it has some really great bass lines in it, although I find only about 80% of it is really good.
A small percentage of it leaves me rather cold, but generally there's a lot of life and celebration to this style of music - even some morality plays too.
For a general introduction - and for those who can remember Robin Williams singing "I Did It My Way" in the Happy Feet movie - well the background musicians were the first group I'll bring up here: The Gypsy Kings (sometimes spelled "Gipsy"). So you've at least been partially introduced to the music stylization anyway.
Like I said, I'll start this out gently, since some of the Norteņo music can be a big culture shock to some people.

His band is always ridiculously talented. They have that ability to sound like they are careening this close to running off the rails, and yet they always seem to end up together at the end. Incredibly fun, spirited, infectious music. Try not to dance... go ahead, I dare ya!

Real Banda, Tex-Mex and Central Mex music is too much of a jump for some metal music and thrash players.
Me? I'm just a German-Dutch-Irish-Welsh paddy gringo, but I love this stuff. Now with the music as an international tongue, it gets all the better.
I get to sit in with that father-son and all their cousins and uncles musical group this Saturday. I was gonna say 'Mexican' a few more times, but some people get all bothered by it.
I will be the biggest winner there - and I know it! I'll get to work on the complexities of the bass lines, and they're pretty tough too. |

Flamenco and Norteņo are way too different music styles, the only thing in common is that both are sing in spanish. (and some flamenco artist sing in french)
maybe just change the name of the thread to "Hispanic Music"  |

Hmmm - I wonder if Portuguese counts or is that strictly Iberian with some Bastian merged in it? Maybe Puerto Rican would be interesting too.
BUT - I get my first Norteņo jam/lesson tomorrow if all goes well. |

The term Latin may work as well.

Apparently, Flaco Jimenez is the hardest working man in accordian-dom.  |

I've never gotten much into real Norteno music, but I love Tex-Mex.

| | | | Didn't want to start a Norteņa thread since there is one already, but does anyone have any tips for playing this style? Just got into it recently, it's REALLY neat. Can't find any good info out there...
