Me encanta ésta música. Pues es la que a mi padre le gustaba cantar. Sr. Mondragòn, canta usted hermoso. Saludos de CHIHUAHUA. 👍👏👏👏🎸🎤🎻🎷🎵🎶

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.
