Tecalpulco Ganaderos http://youtu.be/iqyia6zrHD0

filmed February 2009, music by the (young) Banda La Rancherita

does anybody know what to call this style of music? In advance, thank you.

Answer 1

Bravooo!

Daniel Carreño Gonzáles, que les quiere dirigir unas palabras.

"Bueno, antes que nada muy buenas tardes, espero que la estén pasando bien, aquí en la... en la casa de la familia..de Barrero... Marrera Pérez, esperamos de que su estancia aquí sea placentera, y también darles las gracias por el apoyo que le están brindando hoy a la comunidad de Tecalpulco. Aquí está mi comisario suplente, está mi comitiva, mi comité de trabajo, quienes aquí juntos les queremos agradecer, a nombre de toda la comunidad...

All right, someone else can take it up from there...

As for the music, personally I call it "an enthusiastic but unholy mess".

Muchas gracias! - Martin-Rizzi, Nov 1, 2011

Answer 2

Although this is not one, the general level of musicianship illustrates why the traditional bugle and drum bands that are found throughout Mexico - and that keep you from taking your afternoon siesta as they practice in the plaza in the afternoons - are called "Una banda de guerra." Muy divertido Martin.

Answer 3

Jeje that music just about had me rolling on the floor, especially the way the clarinet? player brushed out of the way the trombonists slide and proceeded to darle caña It could pass for classic Monty Python.

Answer 4

"banda de guerra" = http://youtu.be/lZ0is5AFTWM

I've seen parades in Mexico where EVERY school in the region marched, primario, secondario, etc. Hundreds of bands, a 3 hour parade, each with their banner and banda de guerra. Usually just drums and trumpets. - Jeremias, Nov 2, 2011

Answer 5

Thank you for the transcription. And those commentaries on the band are amusing!

That was the young Banda La Rancherita at the Cattleman's get together at El

Negro's house in February 2009; this was a few hours before the start of a rodeo.
