“’Partners’ is a good example of how he’s a crossover,” said
Maria Peña, a Library of Congress Hispanic media spokeswoman. “What’s great about this album is it shows his collaborations not to mention that he’s got a career that spanned seven decades. This is a huge acknowledgement of his work.”
The National Recording Registry calls the 82-year-old accordionist “a champion of traditional Conjunto music and Tex-Mex culture who also is known for innovation and collaboration with a variety of artists.”
“People used to regard my music as cantina music, just no respect,” Jiménez said in aninterview with the Library of Congress. “The accordion was considered something like a party joke … I really give respect to everyone who helped me out on this record and I’m flattered by this recognition.”
