Hadn't seen/heard that and I'm a big fan of Los Cenzontles and Hidalgo.

Doesn't seem to be on disc, which is a bummer.

Have seen Los Cenzontles a couple times (once with Hidalgo as a guest,
once when they opened for Ry Cooder) and they are wonderful performers.

Their Cultural Center is a wonder and wonderful.

Thanks for posting one of my favorite NY tunes in a great trifecta!

What a great song! Not really familiar with Los Cenzontles and only know David Hidalgo from 3 Skulls & the Truth.

I know the song, but the musicians are new to me. Thanks for the introduction.

are right up there with Little Feat, Allman Brothers, The Dead, The Band as a hugely talented and amazing group. Hidalgo has one of the top voices in rock and his band is tighter than a gnat's ass.
Here are my two favorite tunes sung by Dave. I hope you enjoy them.

And of course a knock out version of the Dead's Bertha, best song about a floor fan ever.

I've heard a little of Los Lobos, but I don't know them well.

If they stand comaprison with Little Feat, my favourite band out of the States, I'll do some serious checking.
