¡Ay, Jalisco, No Te Rajes!
"¡Ay, Jalisco, no te rajes!" or in English ''Jalisco, don't back down'' is a Mexican ranchera song composed by Manuel Esperón with lyrics by Ernesto Cortázar Sr. It was written in 1941 and featured in the 1941 Mexican film '' ¡Ay Jalisco, no te rajes!'', after which it became an enormous hit in Mexico. The melody of the song was used for the title song of the Disney film ''The Three Caballeros''. Both songs have been recorded by many artists. Analysis The song envisions a romance between the Mexican state of Jalisco and its capital city of Guadalajara. In their book ''Writing Across Cultures: Narrative Transculturation in Latin America'', Ángel Rama and David Frye posit that the song portrays the common stereotype of Jalisco being "a paradigm of 'Mexicanness'.

Conjunto
The term ''conjunto'' (, literally 'group', 'ensemble') refers to several types of small musical ensembles present in different Latin American musical traditions, mainly in Mexico and Cuba. While Mexican conjuntos play styles such as '' norteño'' and '' tejano'', Cuban ''conjuntos'' specialize in the ''son'', as well as its derivations such as ''salsa''. Mexican Mexican conjunto music, also known as ''conjunto tejano'', was born in south Texas at the end of the 19th century, after German settlers introduced the button accordion. The ''bajo sexto'' has come to accompany the button accordion and is integral to the ''conjunto'' sound. Many ''conjuntos'' are concentrated in the Southwestern portion of the United States, primarily in Texas and California. In Mexico, the term ''conjunto'' is associated with '' norteño'' and ''tejano'' music. Since ''tejano'' was bred out of ''norteño'' music originally, this association is not entirely false. However, due to various cultural and so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
