Lorenzo Martinez y Santiago JImenez, Jr. Exitos!!
This LP captures an informal jam of two legendary conjunto musicians, Lorenzo Martinez and Santiago Jimenez, Jr. It was recorded one afternoon circa 2011 at Santiago’s studio in San Antonio. The musicians lived a block away from each other and got together regularly. Both grew up in the Ghost Town neighborhood on the Westside. Lorenzo originally learned to play accordion as a child from Santiago Jimenez, Sr. Lorenzo had a long career playing accordion and recording with legends like Conjunto Rainbo, Los Turistas de Lorenzo Martinez, George y Mague, Pancho y Lore, Los Caballeros, and Ramon ‘Rabbit’ Sanchez, among othes. Lore, who passed in 2020, remains an inspiration to conjunto musicians in Texas and beyond. Santiago, an NEA National Heritage Award and National Medal of Arts Recipient, is a living legend of conjunto music. He is best known for his traditional accordion playing and singing, here he shows his skill as a bajista.
This recording will never be obsolete. You may play it on all 33 1/3, longplaying phonographs and high fidelity systems, regular or stereo.
