OT : In need of Banda (mexican party) music

goodtimej wrote on 7/16/2007, 11:13 AM

I am making a short movie that has a couple spots at a Mexican party and I would like to include some "authentic" Mexican music.
While I could "make" the music myself, I would much prefer some real stuff. Do any of you know anywhere I could procure something of this sort? Thanks

You could contact these guys to see what it might take to procure some of their music for your video.

I'm not Mexican and don't know what authentic Mexican party music would be, but these sound appropriate to me.

Digital Juice has their StackTraxx line of buyout music - On sale today actually for three volumes for $99 with free shipping.

There is World Stacks II:

with the songs La Casa Roja, Top Shelf and Festive Spark.

and World Stacks I:

with the songs Baila, Sierra Mexicana, and SaltPepper.

Hope this helps.

I was going to suggest Digital Juice too. If you are not familiar with their product you should understand that the music is in "layers" that can be removed or lowered/increased in volume. So, if, for example, you hear too much piano and not enough maraca you can adjust at will.
See:
StackTraxx

Try out their products they are great. And the specials they run regularly make them affordable yet hard to resist once you start buying.

I don't work for these guys just like their products
