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.

Linda at her best posted on 10/12/2023 5 Stars I bought "canciones para mi padre" years ago in a cd format for my wife, who loves Mexican folklore music. To my surprise, I found out Linda released her album on vinyl. So, I immediately decided to purchase it. This is an album for "music lovers" specially if you like vocals. The musical arrangements are superb, and the players are regarded as being at the top of Mexican music. Regardless of your taste, It is an album that will drag you into the music thanks to the incredible, lovely linda's voice. It is the same as if you do not care much for Rock music, but you have to have "The Dark Side of the Moon." In addition to all this, the album is mastered by Bernie Grundman. So, I can hear a much wider range of the instrumentation in relation to soundstage, and of course the mid range is clear and sharp, and you can hear more detail compared to the cd format. The album is flat, and it comes with its lyrics and an anti-static inner sleeve.
