Alfonso Salgado Y Su Conjunto Guerrerense

Alfonso Salgado Y Su Conjunto Guerrerense is a traditional music group deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of Guerrero, Mexico. The ensemble was founded by Alfonso Salgado Aguirre, a talented musician and composer born in San Miguel Totolapan. The group became known for performing and recording Tierra Caliente music, a regional style from Guerrero, and gained popularity in the late 1960s and early 1970s with several LPs featuring vibrant, folk-inspired compositions. Tragically, Alfonso Salgado was murdered in 1975, but his legacy was honored by naming the group after him, and the ensemble continued to celebrate and preserve the rich musical traditions of Guerrero through their lively recordings such as the "Fiesta en Guerrero" series.

The Conjunto Guerrerense's repertoire includes enduring regional classics and original compositions that connect listeners to the cultural rhythms and stories of Tierra Caliente. The group's music showcases the sounds and spirit of Guerrero with songs like "El huizache," "Zirándaro," and "Ajuchitlán." The ensemble remains a vital ambassador of Guerrero’s regional music, honoring the memory of Alfonso Salgado and the cultural identity of their home state with enthusiasm and pride.
