Flaco Jimenez - En Vivo (1976)

I do not own any rights to any of the songs in this video.

[@martienevers]

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....

[@NineSSix]

This makes me bust out the grill and beer!

[@adamcolbertmusic]

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 😉

[@Eljefe-kb5vi]

come on over

[@felipeaguirre6917]

It makes you wanna get drunk

[@emmanuelsedano124]

Makes me want to buy beer and tequila bottles for every one

[@rufusray]

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!!!

[@georgesheffield1580]

But not to the govenor ,AG, or Senator of TEXAS ( UNFORTUNATELY )

[@claudiomotajr5268]

Never get tired of listening to his music. I've probably played this video over 500 times. Love this style of Norteno.

[@CraigHodges9100]

This is Conjunto music not Norteño but otherwise agree.

[@victorbanuelos361]

I made it to this video after watching a few birthday videos from Dwayne El Holandes and wondering who Flaco Jimenez was. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaSQf62pmJ6LacU&ab_channel=DwayneElHoland%C3%A9s Love this style too. Was that Uncle Gus at 6:22?

[@heyboss318]

I wanna smoke your last name

[@DVToxico]

@@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.

[@Joe-li3gb]

@@CraigHodges9100 It’s both Norteño and conjunto music. These groups are called conjuntos norteños.

[@GamblerLewis]

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.

[@smokeyrivetcustoms1858]

Song was written by Santiago Jimenez Sr , Santiago Jimenez Jr told me personally a few years ago in Auatin

[@ricardoderas5638]

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.

[@Nipit-po8fl]

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.

[@Zackmorris689]

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.

[@ulrichfleischer2796]

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!!

[@sylviapaquita897]

I have always enjoyed Flaco's playing the best of the best !

LO QUE ME GUSTA DE FLACO JIMENEZ ES EL GUSTO Y ALEGRIA POR EL ACORDEON, LO TRANSMITE, EXCELENTE MUSICO.

[@MSPUKIMOLIELIE]

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.

[@carsonwyatt8915]

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.
