I don’t know the Spanish language, but that Tex Mex music makes me feeling so happy...on the moments listening to that music I wished that there were friends around so we can talk about silly and ordinary things, drinking beer, whiskey, tequila, or whatever...being happy, together laughing and becoming drunk as drunk can be....
Ironically....and rather appropriately.....this music has its roots in German polka, from when German immigrants came to south Texas and northern Mexico and brought their diatonic button accordions and their music (much music itself which came from countries like Austria, Poland, Switzerland, etc). But not just Mexican and German combining, also southwest American cowboy influence in the guitars. So much mixing and merging and borrowing and influencing and immigrating from country to country! Edit: I realized I didn't make my point about "ironically and appropriately"! Well, just imagine Germans playing similar polka music while drinking alcohol and grilling meats, and you get the idea 😉
I made it to this video after watching a few birthday videos from Dwayne El Holandes and wondering who Flaco Jimenez was. ruclips.net/video/Ss-Nzsc9X3c/видео.html&ab_channel=DwayneElHoland%C3%A9s Love this style too. Was that Uncle Gus at 6:22?
@@CraigHodges9100 at that point in time it was all considered Norteño, now we can call it conjunto because we know Flaco is a conjunto musician, but it can be called either.
There is nothing more American than the mixture of German and Mexican heritage that showed its form in the accordion music of Flaco, that is the integration of cultures to find common ground. I only wish all my fellow countrymen felt the same.
Yo Soy Americano, but is is such a great tune. I am not sure who wrote this originally but both this version and the one by Senor Ramon Ayala are incredible! Muchas Gracias. God Bless the USA And Mexico and may we both remain friends for eternity.
bien carnal yo soy del nuevo León ( Monterrey) de donde es este folklore musical y te recomiendo todos nuestros artistas de los años 80s para atrás yo lo escucho por que es la herencia que me dejó mi padre un zacatecano radicado en nuevo León desde los años 60s
I remember his name when I was a kid my mom and dad used to listen to him I'm 57 and he jammed what Dwight Yoakam and the Mavericks thank you y'all be good be safe.
Yo era un niño cuando mi padre y mi madre escuchaban mucho la música del flaco jimenes ya mis padres murieron pero la música del flaco toca my corazón es bella música y soy camionero y viajo mucho a San Antonio laredo houston y nunca e podido conocer al flaco el es muy especial para my
What a great video. Funny song with Chencha and undocumented-guy-in-love characters. You can see how Flaco rejoices singing these humorous songs. The part showing how to press a vinyl LP is nice, too. As always, his playing just adds that spice to the music.
Just discovered this guy. He was completely unknown to me. But what a great musician! As I love accordion music (Zydeco, Musette, Clifton Chenier etc...), Flaco Jiminez fits totally in the music I love. Y que viva Mexico!!
i remember going to the these fiestas with my parents. flaco and other conjunto bands who play and people would dance and drink like there aint no tomorrow.
Wooooowwww La primera vez que me encuentro con este vídeo y no me canso de verlo, me hizo retroceder a mi infancia, cuando mi papá escuchaba estas bellas canciones, y ver la manera artesanal de la fabricación de los discos de acetato, woow este vídeo vale oro, no me canso de verlo !!
que grande este artista , desde Euskadi seguimos su trabajo desde hace muchos años , aquí hay varios grupos musicales que siguen su estilo en idioma vasco, que viva muchos años
Hola amigos he mirado los videos de este señor y me deja lleno de admiracion por el carisma que demuestra con su musica y su forma de ser una persona que muestra su alegria cuando toca su acordeon,y mis mas sinceros respetos,ahunque no se se si todavia viva, le brindo mi admiracion.......
They have really old equipment! i'm surprised it worked then, but no one would ever think of doing all this to manufacture a record. It's amazing to see all the work that went into these records, which are now a piece of junk to many; I still have my 45s and 33.3s.
Muy buena cancion este es un gran documental que se titula: chulas fronteras, con la alondra de la frontera, don santiago jimenez, flaco jimenez, los pinguinos del norte, alegres de teran y variado reparto de artistas
Way back in the 70s in San Antonio Texas. They would have city council vote's for each different district's. To win voter's they would provide free beer and free concert's. You be lucky to get a thank you now a day's.
Migrated illegally as a 3 yr old child in ‘76, but, but, these tunes were constantly played at my mothers tortilla company weekend parties.. damn flaco Jimenez is a kingm
Obrigado irmão! Yo soy mexicano, de sangre española, italiana y portuguesa, actualmente residiendo en Canadá, fuerza a los hermanos iberoamericanos y latino-europeos 💪🇲🇽🇮🇹🇵🇹🇪🇸🇫🇷🇲🇩🇷🇴
I don't know what I liked more; the music or the clips of this little home-brew recording/mastering/vinyl-cutting studio. Really old school and down to earth, but they had an honest fairchild compressor.
Siempre que salen cantions asi viejitas en la radio me recuerda a mis abuelitos QEPD MI ABUELO ERA PERRON PARA LA ACORDEON Y LA TOCADA EN SU TIEMPOS GRACIAS A DIOS CRECI VER LO TOCAR LA ACORDEON 😊😊😊🪗🪗🎵🎵
A very Happy 84th Birthday to Flaco Jimenez. Leonardo Jiménez March 11, 1939 San Antonio, Texas. Founding member of Sir Douglas Quintet and the Texas Tornados. Winner of multiple Grammy's and other awards. A legend in Tejano music. Many, many more Flaco...
Estas sí eran chingonadas de Polkas! No las porquerías de narco-corridos de hoy día! These were really cool Polkas! Not the narco-corridos crap of today!

come on over
It makes you wanna get drunk
Makes me want to buy beer and tequila bottles for every one
Never get tired of listening to his music. I've probably played this video over 500 times. Love this style of Norteno.
This is Conjunto music not Norteño but otherwise agree.

@@CraigHodges9100 It’s both Norteño and conjunto music. These groups are called conjuntos norteños.
This man is a state treasure for texas, i grew up listening to his songs and they always bring a smile to my face. Viva flaco!!!
But not to the govenor ,AG, or Senator of TEXAS ( UNFORTUNATELY )
There is nothing more American than the mixture of German and Mexican heritage that showed its form in the accordion music of Flaco, that is the integration of cultures to find common ground. I only wish all my fellow countrymen felt the same.
This music is from State of Nuevo Leon México, is mexican music.

First time running across Flaco Jimenez at an younger age. He is the greatest accordion player I have ever heard. His music brings tears, so moving.
Just discovered this guy. He was completely unknown to me. But what a great musician! As I love accordion music (Zydeco, Musette, Clifton Chenier etc...), Flaco Jiminez fits totally in the music I love. Y que viva Mexico!!
