I'm not even sure of the names of these genres so it's been hard for me to find anything on my own. If anyone can help I'd be really grateful.
I'm no expert, but anyways, I suppose this one is not exactly from "Mexico" but give it a try -

BABE(B)LOGUE: The Roots of Chicha - Psychedelic Cumbias from Peru (2007)

I'm not sure whether that's what you are after as I have no idea what's 'cumbia'. It just had the word and I happened to remember .

Or maybe something like this?

(Ignore the accordion pic. I'm sure you'll get through it . I find the accordion to be a bit cheesy, but that wasn't half bad. And I *think* it has some complex-tribal sort of drumming?)


Edit: And here's a track from the compilation without any vocals

Heh. Thanks for the suggestions but I actually already own an El Gran Silencio album (it's a pretty good album but the accordion does get old after a while) as well as that "Roots of Chicha" disc. Based on what I've heard I think cumbias are really different depending what their country of origin is and I think the type of cumbia I'm looking for is specifically Mexican. As far as the other style of Mexican music I'm looking for goes (the style with the yodeling and fiddle), you may be one of the few people on here familiar with the one good example of it that I know by name. Do you have the Cafe Tacuba album Avalanche de Exitos? If you do, the song "Ojala Que Llueva Cafe" is the exact style of music I'm looking for.

Janzoon I would also recommend Rodgrio y Gabriela, they do flamenco style music that seriously makes me hard.



Yes that is Orion, the Metallica song.

Not what I was looking for at all but good stuff regardless. I think I've actually heard these two somewhere before.
