Chicago Reader, CD Review >>
By PETER MARGASAK
On their new album, Esta Tierra Es Tuya, these locals take on a dazzling array of Mexican folk-music forms with a preservationist's care (the CD insert includes a diagram of the roughly 70 instruments used on the recording), but the results never feel fussy or stilted: each track bursts with energy, and novel arrangements and ideas are everywhere. At one point they put a son jarocho spin on a movement from one of Bach's Brandenberg Concertos, and, with U.S. immigration policy under fire from all sides, the title track confirms that Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" loses none of its power when sung in Spanish. 07/13/07 >> go there
