about

All the proceeds from the sale of this album go to Ildefonso Medel.
The download includes the CD booklet as a PDF file.

This collection was formed over the three years that Alec Dempster visited Ildefonso Medel Mendoza. Known by many affectionately as “Cartuchito”, a nickname that could be due to his height and his rapid playing style. He was born in 1931 in Vistahermosa, where he has always resided and, at the time of the recordings, both he and his brother were the only traditional remaining in his community. Most of his fourteen children had left the village and none followed in their father's musical footsteps. From an early age he was a familiar presence in the fandangos of the area and later he played with the groups Son de Santiago and Río Crecido. Unfortunately, "Cartuchito" has not been able to play since he suffered a paralysis in 2010.

He is heard here playing solo and in different formats with Enedino Medel, Juan Zapata, José Palma, Anastasio Gorgonio, Pablo Campechano and Juan Manuel Campechano.

Todas las ganancias de la compra de este album van a Ildefonso Medel.
La descarga del album incluye el librillo en formato PDF.

Este compendio sonoro se formó a lo largo de tres años que visitaba regularmente a Ildefonso Medel Mendoza. Cariñosamente, muchos lo conocen como “Cartuchito”, un apodo que podría deberse a su estatura y al gusto por tocar de una manera veloz. Nació en 1931 en Vistahermosa, donde siempre ha radicado y, cuando hicimos las grabaciones, tanto él como su hermano eran los únicos jaraneros en su comunidad. La mayoría de sus catorce hijos habían migrado y ninguno siguió los pasos musicales de su padre. Desde temprana edad fue muy asiduo a los fandangos de la zona y después tocó con los grupos Son de Santiago y Río Crecido. Lamentablemente, Cartuchito no ha vuelto a tocar desde el año 2000, cuando sufrió una parálisis.
