Linda Ronstadt - Canciones De Mi Padre

140-gram vinyl

1987 Spanish language multiplatinum album by Grammy winner Linda Ronstadt!

Linda Ronstadt's Canciones de mi Padre still holds the record as the biggest-selling Spanish-language album in American history. Its reissue comes 35 years after Ronstadt put out Canciones in 1987 in a creative move that initially didn't sit well with her record label, Ronstadt has said.

The album, produced by Ronstadt's longtime manager Peter Asher and Rubén Fuentes of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, also featured Mariachi Vargas, Mariachi Los Camperos and Mariachi Los Galleros de Pedro Rey — three of the world's greatest mariachi.

Selling more than 10 million copies and celebrated by music lovers across the globe, and here at home by both the Grammys and the Library of Congress, Ronstadt brought the most beautiful and timeless Spanish melodies back into homes in a loving reunion as well as coloring new rooms where these songs, bright as the day, suddenly rang out. New connections celebrating beauty, language, and roots. Even today — especially today — the sound of Canciones de mi Padre links the then to the now and onward.
