This is specific to this genre because other genres don’t use instruments as a way to evoke feelings and tell a story. What makes this genre unique is the use of instruments and words to create emotion and tell an event. A big part of tradition on this holiday is listening to songs like this one that speak on the pride of independence on this day because it sparks feelings of joy, pride and patriotism. On September 15 and 16 Mexicans all around Mexico celebrate el dia de Independencia with music, fireworks, parades etc. It contains historical references from the war and how happy and prideful they are to be Mexican on el Dia De Independencia. This whole song talks about the pride that Mexico has from becoming independent from Spain. The mention of the bell and the flag in the song are the two most major symbols used in war. Guanjuato is the state where the war started, and Hidalgo was the priest and leader in charge of the independence movement. The song represents the pride that Mexicans have on this day, it also brings up key parts about Mexico’s Independence Day, for example it talks about Hidalgo, Las campanas de dolores and Guanjuato. Even the title called, ” 15 De Septiembre ” (15 of September) is about el Dia De Independencia because it is the day before Mexico gained its independence.
NO NOS HECHAMOS PA’ TRAS Analysis: “Viva Mexico!” “Viva!” (long live mexico!) this song speaks on the pride of Mexico becoming independent from Spain.
Tania and Plácido turn the humble huapango into high art.ALMA DE NUESTRA NACION ES EL PUEBLO DE DOLORES There is also a wonderful live performance on Youtube of Plácido singing the song in his exquisite tenor voice, supported my mariachi and orchestra. There is a wonderful live performance on Youtube of Tania Libertad singing this song in a very different style in her clear, beautiful high soprano voice, with great passion.
I have picked one so that at least you can hear his distinctive voice singing the song. There are several recordings of José Alfredo singing the song on Youtube. Tania Libertad has a beautiful recording of it under the second title, as also does Plácido Domingo. José Alfredo Jiménez, the composer, seems to have recorded this same song under two different titles on different recordings, the title given above and the title, "Cuando Sale la Luna".
