The Chieftains do Mexican. You might think that this weird combination wouldn't work, but, more often than not, it works perfectly. There are tracks which are predominantly Irish in feel, tracks which are predominantly Mexican / Latin and (I hope you're keeping up with me so far) those which are a mix of the two. And it's the latter that works the best. The opener 'La Iguana' is an absolute belter, as are 'Persecución de Villa' and 'Canción Mixteca'. There are one or two low points (I could do without the Liam Neeson narrative),but overall it's well worth a visit.
