Spanish, indigenous, and African. Country rancheras, falsetto and fiddles of son huasteca, urban orchestral mariachi, cantina corridos and lovesick waltzes, accordion-infused norteño, and coastal cumbias. On this episode: dusty 78 rpm recordings and the revivalists of Mexican Roots.

I did like the mix, but I take exception on including a cumbia, and ignoring the great Chavela Vargas :-)
