Flaco's Favorites

 


2026 Charity Shop Purchases # 40 - Flaco Jimenez - Flaco's Favorites


From 2001 the Dutch label FAB 14 give us 14 Fabulous Tracks from everyone's favourite Conjunto accordionist the legendary Flaco Jimenez.

The 14 tracks selected come from three of his albums namely Entre Humo y Botellas (Rounder, 1989), San Antonio Soul (Rounder, 1991) and Arriba el Norte (1998, Sound) . I only have the latter on the shelves.

Sadly Flaco is no longer with us having passed away in San Antonio on 31st July last year aged 86.

It seems sensible to feature one from each album in chronological order.

Enjoy.
