I am so blessed to have a copy of this beautiful album, recorded by Linda Ronstadt and the world reknown Mariachi Vargas (an amazing mariachi band). Though, Linda Ronstadt's transition from pop music into the mariachi repertoire of her father (a very talented mariachi musician) was dismissed as a novelty by some, it is beautiful music to my ears (as well as many others who have heard Ronstadt's interpretations of well-known mariachi songs). For starters, Linda has an expressive and clear range as a vocalist and it is evident that the influences of mariachi have moved her deeply as an artist. She has a wonderful, "fat" mariachi voice (what I mean by that is that she has the ability to really stretch out the long notes in a song that accent them with great feeling). This is a hallmark of mariachi vocalists, men and women alike. The most well-known songs are heard here. They include "Por Un Amor," "Tu Solo Tu" (recorded by Pedro Infante, and, later, by Selena, among many other artists), "Y Andale" and "Los Laureles."
From what I have heard, Linda Ronstadt immersed herself in mariachi as part of her research for this album (as well as MAS CANCIONES) and it shows. You can tell that she did her homework! Yet, Linda also succeeds at sounding distinctive and not merely like she is imitating the performances of others. What's more, Ronstadt and Mariachi Vargas sound as though they had been performing together for many years. The collaboration is terrific. If you aren't familiar with mariachi, its glorious melodies, beautiful instrumentation (with guitarron, guitar, and violin), this is a great introduction. I guarantee you will fall in love with this beautiful style of Mexican music after just hearing the first couple of tracks. Gorgeous.

I did not know that Linda Ronstadt was Hispanic until I heard this CD. Her papa was definitely a Mariachi, it shows in her singing. I like his Spanish CDs better than her English ones.
I am so glad that I found this CD. I hope that she continues to do more songs in the Mariachi style. I'm glad that she was able to go back to her ethnic roots. This is a wonderful, beautiful CD.
Free Music Review: Essence of Mexico
Hit: 5 Stars
Linda Ronstadt does an excellent job in capturing the essence of Mexico. Being of partial Mexican origin myself, and having traveled south of the border many times; I could see in my mind images of Old Mexico...very traditional and very outstanding.
Other Spanish language artists used for comparison: Lola Betran, Nat "King" Cole, Nana Mouskouri, Vinciente Fernandez, Juan Gabriel, Ana Gabriel.
