This enormously popular norteno group was introduced to Anglos by the indefatigable
Chris Strachwitz. This record is the one the Latinos buy. The basic sound here is the gentle older duo/trio style, in which accordion and bajo sexto are underpinned by electric bass, but not traps. As in most of
The Alegres' many CBS recordings, however, the core unit is joined by on-and-off mariachi trumpets, harps and such.
