Traditional Mexican Music

Can anyone help me find the great Mexican folk music I've been looking for?

Hard core Mariachi (what I call the heavy brass Mariachi) is welcome.

No cheesy crap, pleez!

Revueltas is great and everything...but I want to expand my knowledge a little more and keep running into the same, lame stuff.

Maybe it's all about Corazon!



I've decided to get some records by Cafe Tacuba. Starting with the one Kronos appears on: Reves / Yo soy. It's basically pop music...but seems like it's at least influenced by traditional mex. music. The group is fairly progressive as well, which is always a bonus for me.

Calexico mixes some traditional mexican things with alt.country and alt.rock... I like them very much, but there no hard core mariachi...

Surf guitar too!

Just found their homepage. They're okay. Wouldn't buy their records, though.

My first introduction to traditional Mexican music was Linda Ronstadt's "Canciones De Mi Padre", which I actually liked until I later discovered truly authentic Mexican artist and then realized that her accent was horrid, which ended up spoiling the album for me.
