Kill Bill - Volume Two

If you watched Kill Bill, volume two and also watched the special extra bits, you'll have seen a live performance of Chingon. Some of Chingon is included in the soundtrack of the movie. 'Mexican Spaghetti Western', however, is the whole enchilada!

From start to finish, this is an album that captivates. What Chingon does with the classics is gorgeous beyond belief. I've long loved Mariachi music and many of my friends didn't understand what is was that moved me about the form. Sometimes one hears all that is and imagines all that is possible. This is musical fusion of Mariachi form with driving classical guitar riffs, screaming rock and a bit of exquisite jazz thrown in for good measure. 'Mexican Spaghetti Western' surpasses all that I'd imagined.

The music literally soars. You will move...Read more

Excellent music! It's a mixture of the classical mariachi and flamenco sound mixed with some good electric guitar. The dude's voice is raspy and really chingon.

I probably shouldn't say that the movie was a bomb, but it really didn't make anywhere near the impression it was supposed to. Hey, when you get a soundtrack like this out of it, at least something bueno happened. This soundtrack reminds me of the one from Desperado (at least the Los Lobos tunes) and, I might say, goes a bit beyond it. This is get down dirty grindhouse movie music, the kind you expect a bloody knife from every time you turn around. There is a degree of similarity amongst a few of the songs, but this more like a bottle of Herradura and a bowl of menudo than Dom Perignon and neuvo cuisine. Maleguena salarosa has a kick-butt beat, while Severina will bring a few tears. Adding the bonus tracks makes it all the more worth the purchase, especially the three "Chingonized" bonus title themes. My guilty pleasure track: 1-800-Hitman.
