La Marisoul & Los Texmaniacs Corazones And Canciones
Release Date: April 7, 2023
Label: Smithsonian Folkways
On Corazones And Canciones, two Mexican American musical powerhouses, La Marisoul and Los Texmaniacs, join forces to create an album overflowing with heart and imagination.
L.A.'s Marisol "La Marisoul" Hernandez and San Antonio-based Grammy-winning Tejano band, Los Texmaniacs draw from a repertoire of cherished canciones rancheras and boleros for Corazones And Canciones.
"Everything is done with heart and soul, because of the passion and love we have for this music," asserts Texmaniacs leader Max Baca. Adds Marisol, "It's just as American as it is Mexican; that's one of the special things about living in the United States."
Special guest Little Joe Hernández adds his trademark vocals to the melody of "Las Nubes," the song he propelled to the forefront of the Chicano Movement.
