Great thread. I grew up listening to Mexican umpa German inspired bands, mariachi music and old classic Mexican nortena music.. As my uncles and dad will refer to as "good getting drunk music."
Cornelio Reyna
Ramon Ayala
Pedro infanta
Los relampagos del Norte
And a few singers from Spain
Then I came to Texas illegally as a four year old and in middle school began to listen to "English" music..
I'm Mexican born, but washed in the blood Texan. I remember doing my homework as a George Straights Blame it on Mexico song played in an old cassette player.
I love all country music. Classic and current. Don Williams is one of my favorites.
Love classic rock, 80's rock and 90's rock.. U2 is a must..
Sweet home Alabama is a sure hit in my classroom.
Buddy holly and Richie Valens is played everyday to my kindergarten students. In august they didn't know who buddy holly was or Richie Valens. Now they ask me to play their music and I think that's pretty cool.
In the early late 80's I listened to rap into 93. Still like it , but don't play it.
Love blues, bluegrass and jazz..
Classical music was played when my kiddos were babies. Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Chopin, Gluck..
Gluck's dance of the blessed spirits should be heard by all at least once
Vivaldi's four seasons is a masterpiece.
Copland the great American composer and his "Appalachian spring."
Beethoven's moonlight sonata..
Well honestly I like most music..
