El Camino written by Jesus Navarro Por el quebrado camino Que va a la sierra huasteca Se oye cantar un jinete Que monta una yegua prieta Al acompasado trote De la jaca tan inquieta Brota el agudo falsete Con que el jinete se alegra Ay la la la De lejos vengo yo a verte a conseguir lo que quiero Aunque la vida me cueste Asi el polvo en el camino Envuelve jinete y yegua Hasta que los dos se pierden Entre tupida arboleda Despues ya solo se escucha Por la lejana vereda El falsete del huasteco Que al cantar Asi se expresa Ay la la la... The Road Along the broken road That runs along the huasteca range A horseman is heard singing Mounted on a dark mare Accompanied by the trot Of his restless mount Breaking into high falsetto The rider joyfully sings I've come from far away to see you To get what I long for Even if it will cost my life Like that the dust in the road Surrounds horse and rider Until they both disappear In the thick forest Later, all that is heard Is the huasteco's falsetto Ringing back from the distant trail Trio Voices- Linda Ronstadt, Mike Ronstadt, Pete Ronstadt ronstadt-linda.com Liner notes from Mas Canciones Since I was a young child, I have loved and admired the traditional music of Mexico in all its wonderous diversity. It is said that there are many contradictions in Mexican culture. Its music is no exception. It is at once the most disciplined and the most hang loose music I have ever attempted. Its Pre-columbian rhythms and subsequent European influences always allow it to shine as distinctly Mexican. The mariachi is in the truest sense a folk orchestra playing the regional music of Jalisco. Under the inspired leadership of Rubén Fuentes it has reached its full potential for sophisticated arrangements without compromising the traditions from which it sprang. The influx of German settlers in the north brought with it the accordion and the polkas, waltzes and oom-pah military music so dear to German hearts. The Mexicans engulfed it and made it their own. My brothers and I grew up particularly loving the sones and huapangos from the south and trios from the Huastecas. We were thrilled when we finally got to record our own versions of these songs we'd admired for so long. On this recording, they sing with me both in the more formal arrangements done by Fuentes and in the most casual living room performance versions of songs we learned from Trio Tariacuri and Trio Calaveras. Tejano accordion player Flaco Jimenez makes a guest appearance on "Palomito de Ojos Negros." Although his wonderfully unique accordion style is clearly Mexican in origin, the presence of black sharecroppers in Texas have given it a blues flavor that doesn't occur south of the Texas-Mexican border. Nonetheless, I feel his contribution here is appropriate because we are both Mexican-Americans who revere the musical traditions of our regions and our grandfathers. Linda Ronstadt, October 1991
