Unforgettable Romance - Elegant & Timeless Jewelry for Anniversaries, Weddings & Special Occasions

Product Description

Eva Ybarra is an accordionist and bandleader who is devoted to the conjunto tradition, regardless of the fact that it has never before included a woman. But Eva clearly understands the unspoken rule among conjunto heavyweights: to rise to the level ofmaster accordionist one must create an individualistic style that moves beyond, but never ignores, its roots. Accordionists like Steve Jordan, Flaco Jimenez, Mingo Saldivar and Oscar Hernandez took to this challenge and, at least in Texas, they are timeless legends. With this recording, Eva Ybarra easily settles in among them as her bright tones, dynamic range and rich, florid chromatic runs bring a level of grace and sophistication never before heard in polka-driven conjunto music. Romance Inolvidable places Eva and her accordion in a variety of rhythms and musical genres, from cumbias to country to banda to straight-up polkas and rancheras. -adapted from the liner notes by Cathy Ragland
