A true tejano would love this!!!, May 10, 1999

I grew up listening to this music. The songs are authentic because they are from the heart. If you love the accordian and polkas you'll love this CD. I recommend listening while have a nice cold one! For those who have roots in Brownsville or Weslaco Tejas, you should buy this classic.

This is perhaps the highest and most profound art, June 6, 1999

Chulas Fronteras is THE documentary ne plus ultra on tex-mex (norten~o) music, combining wonderful, authentic music past and present with up-front dialogue with the musicians who play it and the Tejanos whose roots are so deeply intertwined with it. Timothy Harding, an incredible and well-known scholar of Mexican folk and art music, once told his class: "I sometimes think that if I had made that film I would die happy without having done anything else..." Dr. Harding is right.--Justin Laird Weaver <uweavj02@umail.ucsb.edu>

Timeless music that brings back memories of growing up in a seemingly more musical time. I learned how to play guitar to this music. Great stuff!!
