[Harp-L] Mexican harmonica music
I'm often in situations where Spanish language radio is playing in the
background. Something I've noticed is the bounty of prominent harmonica
leads. Chromatic, diatonic, tremelo, much more common than anything on
English speaking radio. Mostly it's corridos but I've also heard it in
cumbias and conjunto. I think because of the prevalance of accordion in
these styles of music the harmonica ends up being a good fit too.
Anyone else have occasion to notice this and better yet does anyone know
who these musicians are and how to hear more of them? fjm
