El Cocicnero

Here we meet El Cocinero, The Cook. Cisco is trying to enjoy a smoke break away from the heat and noise of the kitchen he commands. He is confronted by a belligerent local who questions his immigration status, he very right to toil and create the food the local consumes. The cook tells him what's what in this sprightly Norteno waltz. 

This particular type of Mexican music, it's oompah sound, is the result in part of the dispersal of the troops of Austrian emperor of Mexico in the 1860s and subsequent German and Czech immigration. Immigration coming and going!

I wrote this song in the macaronic style, mixing two languages at once. Kinda fun.

Below  are some songs in the macaronic style.
