Mariachi but not enough

"These two CD set of mariachi music is just as the title states a compilation of various artists interpreting classic mariachi songs. It is an excellent set for the novice collector of mariachi music or as one's first introduction into mariachi music. However some the selections lack the full sound of a Marichi Vargas and although included are two classic revolutionary era favorites "Traigo Mi 45" and "carabina 30/30" also missing from that era are "Valentin de la Sierra" and "La Rielera." Most dissappointing was "La Adelita" selection which here was an instrumental, depriving ther listener of those sad heart wrenching lyrics. Overall excellent begginer set."
