Diferente

Diferente

A crucial contributor to the rejuvenation of Mexican regional music and the soaring popularity of the banda genre, Roberto Tapia takes a detour here, focusing on romantic songs rather than corridos. You feel the pain of heartbreak in “No Valoraste” as his voice shifts up and down the scale while nestled tightly in his brother’s blazing brass arrangements. Rapid, staccato accordion riffs vibrate throughout while the sousaphone bass pumps, percussion rolls pop, and sweet clarinets chime in with cheerful, melodic meanderings, most notably on highlight “Soy Diferente.”
