El Cascabel

Video Find(s) of the Day

I find a tune I like, I have to hear it as many ways as possible. A cascabel is a rattle, and also a kind of chili pepper that when dried can be used as a rattle. So there's this tune about it.

I first saw this raw video of a street performance. I especially loved watching the dancer in the first half.

EL CASCABEL ramita de cedro



That got me looking for more. I found this video with a version involving what appear to be Japanese musicians and one harp.

That linked to a version by one big mariachi band.
