Mexico Adopting U.S. Music

By GAY PAULEY

United Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, Mar. 29 ~The land of the rhumba and the samba has slowed

to a foxtrot and a waltz, says Mexico's top woman com-

poser, “Everybody's singing and dancing to music from the States,” sald dark-haired Consuelo Velazquez, who is best known north of the border for the popular song ‘Because Mucho.” The novelty tunes compete with the blues for the top spots on Mexican hit parades,

“Why, right now our most popular ditty is ‘Shrimp Boats A' Comin,'” she sald, with a grin, “Cry, Cry, Cry’ is our top ballad.” ” »

» MISS VELAZQUEZ, who also fs a prominent planist, sald U. 8. music was becoming “standard” in her native land largely because of the influx of tourists, most of them from the United States. American Airlines officials estimated 1,800,000 persons visited Mexico last year. “Don’t get the idea our rhumbas and sambas will dle,” Miss Velazquez said. “We are a musical people. We absorb and like them all.” Miss Velazquez, a tall, browneyed beauty in her early 30's, composes some of the hottest and also sweetest music either side of the border. Several of her rhumbas and sambas are steady fare for such musicians as Xavier Cugat. Her “Anoce” (last night) and “Que Divino” (how wonderful) are among Mexico's top blues tunes. The composer-pianist was born in Guadalajara, itself immortalized in a Mexican song, and started her musical career at the age of three. - - “ “SOMEONE GAVE me a toy plano,” she recalled. “Mother says the first tune I ever played was Chopsticks.” Her plano playing was confined to “weddings and parties,” she said, until she came to Mex{co City in 1936. Then she began broadcasts and soon was in big demand as a recording artist. It was during her work over station XEQ that she met husband Mariano Rivera Conte, then the station's music director and now artistic director for RCA-Victor in Mexico. “Besame Mucho” was written for him, They have two boys, aged three and six. Miss Velazquez now has decided to add a third facet to her musical career. “I'm organizing and will conduct an all-female orchestra” she said. “We hope to put it on television.” :
