Mariachi Cobre has been my favorite group of musicians from the time I first heard them on a recording. They bring to the listener the genuine sound of MARIACHI. When you listen to them perform you get this feeling that you are in Mexico. You also know for certain that they are having a great time as they perform; almost as though they are trying to make one another have even more fun than the next musician. I can get out of a slump in the middle of the day by playing any of their CD's. Sigan adelante muchachos! Keep moving forward ahead of us guys!

Hailing from Tuscon, AZ Mariachi Cobre are by far the finest Mariachi ensemble in the United States, and are warmly accepted as one of the best in Mexico, too. This CD is their finest so far - A terrific mixture of very traditional *son*-based Mariachi, romantic Ranchera ballads, and some outstanding Nortena arrangements. The Cobres feature not only top-notch players, but all of the principle singers boast powerful, inspirational voices. This CD will make you want to party, dance, sing, cry, laugh, and shout a few *gritos.* If you only buy one Mariachi CD in your life, make this the one. Linda Ronstadt contributes her lovely voice to two tracks. If you like this CD, also be sure to get their prior, eponymously-titled CD.

As the son of a professional musician, I have acquired a reasonable taste and appreciation for all kinds of music. When I recently saw Mariachi Cobre on TV I was astounded by the excellence of this group. They combine the very best of instrumentalists, vocalists, and arrangements to produce a sound that is the best of the best in the world of Mariachi Music today. Steve Carillo's classical training and voice quality make him a lead mariachi without peer...I am truly astounded by him and the Cobre's many gifted members. If you haven't heard Mariachi Cobre before, Este Es Mi Mariachi presents them at their finest. And when you listen to Steve sing "Estrellita"...well, just remember, I told he was superb.

After listening to this CD, I love mariachi music. I don't understand the language, but the music touchs my heart and spirit. I also thoroughly enjoyed listening to the songs Linda Ronstadt sang with them.

Mariachi Cobre truly is one of the finest mariachi groups in the world, and this record does them justice as such. However, I am a mariachi purist, and I didn't enjoy some of the more "Nortena" sounding songs on this recording, especially where the accordion is involved. I did really enjoy Cobre's renditions of the traditional sons like "La Madrugada" and "Los Copetonas." This CD is a must have, but do not expect as pure a mariachi sound, but do expect the talent of the musicians to compensate for it.

I remmember hearing my first mariachi album about five years ago. It was Cobres self entitled Cd. Sinced then, I have began playing mariachi, and hope to be as good as they are some day. Their musicianship is amazing and their voices pure gold. This Cd is just one example of their amazing talents. Thanks guys and, QUE SIGE LA TRADICION!!!!!!!!!!!!
