Thank you for putting these records up my dad was part of orquesta Zamarripa and Zeke amd the sound of music. Same band he was the alto saxophone player. I have been searching for years and finally found something. Means a lot to me because he passed away in 2004 and now its on here for my daughter and niece and nephews to look at and be proud of their grandfather. Thank you so much!
CONGRATULATIONS. GREAT JOB
Thank you so much for archiving these songs. My father composed Ven Conmigo. His name is Gregorio Montano, Sr. He, his brother Manuel and his cousin Salvador were the Trio Hmnos. Montano. We didn’t have a copy of his song and were hoping to find it online one day. Thanks to you, we did!
