Artist description Five-time Grammy-winner and living legend FLACO JIMENEZ returns with a new album that captures the musical essence, the excitement and the passion that are Flaco Jimenez’ trademarks. Squeeze Box King, his first new album in three years, is a musical tour of the rhythms, sounds, and moods of grassroots Conjunto music. From the tri-lingual party polka “En El Cielo No Hay Cerveza/In Heaven There Is No Beer” to the haunting bolero “Tan Sola,” Flaco Jimenez delivers an album that touches on the various rhythms and styles of Conjunto. Flaco’s dance appeal is evident in his Cumbia beats as much as in the ice-house Polka “Ojitos Negros.” Traditional favorites “Prenda del Alma” and “Hay Que Saber Perder” gain a new dimension and are ready to be discovered by a new generation of Latin music fans. Flaco’s reputation as a virtuoso stylist makes him highly sought-after sideman for musicians of all styles and categories. He has recorded with a wide range of artists including musical heavyweights Dwight Yoakam, Ry Cooder, Linda Ronstadt, The Clash, the Rolling Stones, Carlos Santana, The Chieftains, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and many others.
