Los Cadetes De Linares
Los Cadetes de Linares were a Mexican norteño band who were especially famous for their corridos, traditional ballad-style songs about social causes, criminals or heroes in the northern parts of Mexico. They appeared in various classic Mexican films and made many appearances on nationally syndicated programs in Mexico and the United States. Formation The band was formed in 1960 in Linares, Nuevo León by Homero Guerrero. The idea of the name "Cadetes" came from the fact that, as a child, Guerrero's dream was to attend a military academy. However, because of his family's financial problems, he decided to devote himself to music. He began playing a bajo sexto, singing at family parties, festivals, schools and in the main square of Linares. In 1961 Guerrero added an accordionist, Adan Moreno. They began playing around Linares, and became known as Los Cadetes de Linares. In 1967 Moreno left the band due to disagreements with the group. In 1968 Samuel Zapata became the group's ...

Bajo Sexto
Bajo sexto (Spanish: "sixth bass") is a Mexican string instrument from the guitar family with 12 strings in six double courses. A closely related instrument is the bajo quinto (Spanish: "fifth bass") which has 10 strings in five double courses. In playing, the left hand holds the strings against frets on a fingerboard, while the right hand plucks or strums the strings. When played in older styles of music where the instrument assumes the role of a bass, the strings are usually plucked with the fingers. In modern chordal and melodic styles, a pick is frequently used. Origins and use The history of the bajo sexto is somewhat unclear. There are few written sources, and until very recently most music dictionaries and encyclopedias did not mention the instrument. A few contemporary researchers have been working from oral sources—living players and luthiers—to tracing the background of the instrument. They descend from the Spanish bandurrias and lutes that used double strings and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
