REVIEW

“In the mid-50s Isidro Lopez became the father of modern Tejano music (now known as classic Tejano) by combining traditional Mexican music and instrumentation (accordion) with a ‘big-band sound’…While Lopez always makes his vocal presence felt it’s on the vals rancheras where he unleashes his best gut-wrenching passion into a tearful emotive performance.”
