Mexican Spaghetti Western (2004)
Electrified Mariachi Music
Never sold in stores, Chingon’s Mexican Spaghetti Western is a blistering, balls-out fusion of mariachi, Morricone and 50s Tex-Mex rock that should be stylistically pleasing to followers of director Robert Rodriguez’s music-intensive films (From Dusk Till Dawn, Desperado, Once Upon A Time In Mexico). Comprised of Spanish rockers Del Castillo and The HeeBeeJeeBee’s, the band takes on a hyper, spaghetti-western rock approach when Rodriguez assumes lead guitar duties. Viewers of the Kill Bill 2 DVD may have seen their performance of “Malagueña Salerosa” in the extras section, or heard the song in the closing credits. Atmospheric, cinematic and ethnically intoxicating, Mexican Spaghetti Western is electric mariachi music for people whose only excuse for not liking it, is not knowing it even existed. Highly recommended. Amazon.

Nice! I had spaghetti with 'Louisiana' sausage for supper last night. I wonder how different this'll taste. THANKS!
Thanks for sharing all the great music Willard.
I love it when you find out an artist can do more than one medium. Adds a new depth and insight into their main work.
I also like that you stream some of the songs so you can "try before you bu…er..download"!
Thanks for the kind words, Paulo. When I first started hitting blogs years ago that was my main beef… not being able to tell the quality of a certain bootleg or, in cases where bloggers didn't describe the music, wondering if something was worthwhile. Some of this stuff you don't need players for. But, a band like Chingon – which you've either heard… or not – it helps if folks can get a taste of how cool it is. Thanks for commenting.
Nice work, this blog of yours. Keep it up Will.
Regards from Argentina.
Thanks for commenting.
Thanks, Chicon’s Cherry’s Dance of Death followed by Carl Stalling’s Barbary Coast Bunny makes for an interesting segue on the ipod. Thanks for both. :-)
