Los Camperos, "El Tren"

This exclusive web extra features Nati Cano's Mariachi Los Camperos playing the original composition called "El Tren" and the classic "Paloma Negra." While the group has been known for its traditional phrasings and instrumentation, the first piece shows the group willing to experiment with the mariachi form.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Nati Cano... I've had the pleasure of having attended performances of el Mariachi Los Camperos to great indescribable enchantment. Once I would hear their unmistakable introduction " Ya llegaron Los Camperos con sus guitaras..." I knew that a spectacular & delightful musical experience, which will continue to have your high uncompromised level of commitment and thumbprint on, was about to unfold. With grand admiration, and as much gratitude that I can possibly muster, I applaude you, Sir, Don Nati, for your hard work, years of relentless dedication, for being a visionary, and being at the forefront of highly talented leaders in the Arts that have had an astonishing impact in the advocacy of truly elevating the regional Mexican Mariachi music to the heights of global notoriety and whom dared to include Hip-Hop & Classical music in the musical repertoire of Los Camperos. My most heartfelt and sincerest condolences to the family, and to each and every one of the accomplished musicians that have had the distinct privilege of wearing a Charro suit donning the prestigious, and ever so distinguished name, el Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano. Your legacy, Sir, will continue as it is engrained in history and culture, and forever embedded, from coast to coast and continent to continent, in the hearts of many. Adelante Camperos, con nostalgia, con honor, y siempre con esa frente en alto que desde lejos los devisa su director, el "Chief". Los acompanio en su dolor...

El Tren is by Gaspar Vargas, father of Silvestre, based on a corrido called "los enganches del Tren". Mariachi Vargas recorded it multiple times, first in 1937, when Nati would have been about 4 years old.

El Tren is a song by Vargas and Fuentes not an original of theirs. There is a version from the 20s on KZbin I believe.
