By Herb Alpert. By Ervan "Bud" Coleman; Johnny Flamingo. Arranged by Timothy Stapay/Liberace. This edition: pdf, streaming. Film/TV, Latin, Mariachi, Multicultural, Singer/Songwriter, World. Score. 6 pages. Timothy Stapay #1446552. Published by Timothy Stapay (A0.1887881).This is Liberace's piano solo of "Tijuana Taxi", first made famous by Herb Albert. I wrote the Liberace version sheet music and perform this piano solo.
While in Mexico on holiday, Herb Alpert went to a bullfight and listened while the trumpeters announced every event. He liked the sound of it. So he decided to replicate it back home in his L.A. garage. He called his "band" the Tijuana Brass and dubbed in crowd noises such as he had heard in Mexico.
This upbeat song could serve as background music for the taxis in Tijuana zipping around town. The original tune was an instrumental, but Hans Zimmer took care of that in later years, penning a lyric that is now included in cover tunes of the song.
The Tijuana taxis that Alpert made famous in this song are everywhere. They take the shape of cars, vans, and sometimes horses pulling buggies. If you are one of the tourists who crosses the border on foot, a taxi is a great way to get where you're going, and the majority of the drivers are knowledgeable and nice. There may be a language barrier, but that is true of any country where you are the visitor. Rumor has it that the white taxis are usually cheaper than the yellow taxis, but the drivers of the white taxis have less English. So if you don't speak Spanish, you should have a map with your destination clearly marked. And always remember to leave a good tip
