5.0 out of 5 stars A follow-up to Ramiro Burr's review, October 7, 2000
By 
Rogelio R. Santos (Kingwood, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coleccion Mi Historia (Audio CD)
The above reviewer, Ramiro Burr is a music writer/critic for the San Antonio-Express paper. I've read his review of this CD and mostly agree with his conclusions; however, he completely missed this Mariachi's fantastic ability to capture the spirit of the classic 'Las Bodas de Luis Alonso." Very few mariachi groups can handle this piece with the crisp, vibrant, yet delicate strings AND with the brass crescendo that resonates at the end. I measure all mariachis by their ability to handle this piece or 'La Bikina.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Puts Life back into you - Dance!, November 2, 2002
This review is from: Coleccion Mi Historia (Audio CD)
This will put the life back in you. I play it in my car and I'm a much nicer person. This band is amazing... it seems corny when you first hear it but it grows quickly on you. I also got a Mariachi Cobre CD and thought at first they were better but kept playing this and realized it was Marichi Vargas that was my favorite. The "Violin Huapango" is just great. Highly recommend it for parties or livening up anything. Wish I could speak and sing Spanish. I may be in trouble because I hear these are the best Mariachi Band in the world and this is one of their best albums, so now I've been bitten by the bug for more latin music I'll have a hard time finding albums that will compare... This is a truly great album of Mariachi music...

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I wanted, October 19, 1999
By 
John Sizer (Idyllwild, Ca USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coleccion Mi Historia (Audio CD)
My wife was doing a Mexican theme dinner party and I wanted Mariachi music playing when the guests arrived. When I previewed this album it was everything I had hoped for. As with all good music, just close your eyes and go where it takes you. I will be buying more Mariachi Vargas music soon.
