Any chance of getting the Black Sombrero Brass?

http://www.blacksombrerobrass.com/

From their website:

The Black Sombrero Brass affectionately and faithfully recreates those old Tijuana Brass sounds. Our repertoire includes almost everything the Tijuana Brass recorded. We also have a large collection of other latin-influenced music from that era. The moods we create range from the exciting sounds of brass to the quiet sophistication of guitar, marimba and vibes.

The result is a fun, nostalgic, and sophisticated sound for your special event. It is a sound that is truly accessible to all ages of people. And we will not drown you out with volume, so your guests can enjoy the music, maybe dance a little, and even have a conversation without shouting.

"My kids say a new generation will discover this, but I don’t know. I couldn’t predict that I was going to make a hit record [40 years ago], so I can’t say if they will or they won’t. I will say it’s upbeat and positive music. There’s so much dark music out there now.”
