Held van Joris Linssen, die in de documentaire 'Met Jou Heb Ik Geleerd' een serenade aan deze Mexicaanse mariachi-legende brengt. "José Alfredo Jiménez was born to be a musician. Singing from earliest memory, he composed his first tunes at the age of nine. Within two years, he had begun recording. Although success was elusive, Alfredo eventually rose to the upper echelon of Mexican music. Beginning with his 1950 breakthrough hit "Yo," recorded with conjunto group Los Costenos, Alfredo was a constant presence on the music charts of Mexico. His lengthy list of hits included such top-sellers as "Cuatro Caminos," "Que Suerte La Mia," and "Ella". His tunes were interpreted by Mexican pop singers, including Lola Beltrán, Lucas Villa, and Amalia "La Toriacuri" Mendoza; as well as international stars, including Vikki Carr and Paul Anka; and appeared in various films. Alfredo succumbed to hepatitis on November 23, 1973."
De Spaanse operazanger woonde een groot deel van z'n jeugd in Mexico. Begeleid door Mexicaanse musici zingt hij hier een selectie op en top Mexicaanse mariachi-liederen.
Being Mexican,it was only natural that "Don Pedro" felt attracted to his native folklore and music, so early in his career he started singing "rancheras" and even "corridos". RCA Victor Mexicana, immediately noticed this additional "specialty" and since the 40's, started recording "rancheras" and other mexican folk songs sung by Vargas in his unique style. This went on throughout Vargas'singing career and this CD is the result of many of those sessions. "Un Mundo Raro", "Que Bonito Amor", "Ella", "Corazon,Corazon", "La Carin~osa", "La Enorme Distancia", "No Me Amenaces", "El Rey", "Volver,Volver", are some of those rancheras recorded at different stages of Vargas long and brilliant singing career. The musical backing in this CD is mainly provided by Vargas favorite mexican mariachi band "Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan". If you like rancheras, do not miss this great CD. (Luis de Quesada)
