Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Luna Nueva (New Moon) mine the archives of global roots music (Tex-Mex & Conjunto, vallenato, blues, and Fado) to create a bi-lingual blend of new music. Paying tribute to Conjunto (folk music born along the Tex-Mex border) Luna Nueva perform the early classics (Santiago Jimenez Sr., Paulino Bernal), and cover the women of South Texas from the 30's and 40's (Lydia Mendoza, Carmen y Laura). They blend musical stylings (blues, Americana, jazz) to brew up something new!
Luna Nueva is the musical journey of Tara Linda and Gilberto Reyes who sing in the early dueto style ~ boleros, rancheras, tangos, walzes, and cumbias.
NEW CD~ Out November 2008~ New Moon
Classic boleros, rancheras, tangos, and a devilish new cumbia sung by Tara Linda and Gilberto. A lively celebration of roots and legends, this first release includes old and new songs and is dedicated to the life and legend of Lydia Mendoza. Special guest ~ El Maestro Santiago Jimenez Jr. Available now on CD Baby!
