This music sounds exactly like Mexican music. I was expecting something uniquely New Mexican, something Spanish, considering New Mexicans claim Spanish heritage. The song “Adiós Mi Chaparrita” is a Mexican Ranchero song by Tata Nacho from Oaxaca, far from New Mexico.

Me pregunto si eres pariente de Los Mondragon de Llano Quemado, I was in the navy with the late Jerry Mondragon.
