About the artist
Mariachi Jalisciense was a mariachi ensemble whose recordings are held in UCLA's Strachwitz Frontera Collection and which also appears on Discogs under the variant names El Mariachi Alma Jalisciense, Mariachi Fuentes and El Mariachi Jalisciense de Rubén Fuentes. The Frontera Collection lists a "Soldado Raso" by this ensemble. 'El Soldado Raso' is a widely covered Mexican composition by Felipe Valdés Leal, so several distinct recordings circulate.
