Regarding the relationship with his contemporaries, Jiménez Mabarak can be placed between two generations: the last nationalist impulse formed by the composers of "el grupo de los cuatro" and the so-called third generation with composers born at the end of the twenties and thirties (Manuel Enríquez, Joaquín Gutiérrez Heras, Francisco Savín, Leonardo Velázquez, Rafael Elizondo, Mario Kuri Aldana, etc).

Surely Jimenez-Mabarak is an highly interesting composer together with Blas Galindo and Luis Sandi he created excellent works influenced from folklore
