Love Your Neighbors

The Love Your Neighbors Project - A celebration of songs from the neighboring countries to the USA and other immigrant songs along with some songs composed by us Yankees.

The Square Dance Heroes are in the process of recording and releasing songs on EPs that will be included on a "Love Your Neighbors" album.  

We hope we aren't being too political here because all political parties have some good ideas and some bad ideas.  However, loving your neighbors is something we hope folks from all political parties and all countries try to achieve!  

Here are the EPs we have released to date for the "Love Your Neighbors" project:

The Mexican Hat Dance - The national dance of our neighbor to the South performed by the Square Dance Heroes and dedicated to our Mexican friends and neighbors

The Hills and Mountains of Canada - Themes and variations on original melodies and Celtic jigs inspired by Canada and dedicated to Canadian friends and neighbors 

La Bamba - A traditional Mexican song and dance performed by the Square Dance Heroes and dedicated to our Mexican friends and neighbors.  La Bamba is a Mexican folk song, originally from the state of Veracruz.  It became popular in the US with a 1958 adaptation by Ritchie Valens and has remained popular often being performed by mariachi musicians.   The song was reintroduced to the US radio and movie audiences when the Los Lobos version was used in the 1987 film La Bamba and became a #1 song on the Billboard charts.    We hope you enjoy the Square Dance Heroes version of La Bamba which is performed at a faster tempo that is great for Square Dancing or Salsa Dancing!
