Canciones De Mi Padre (Spanish for 'Songs of My Father', or 'My Father's Songs') is American singer Linda Ronstadt's first album of Mexican traditional Mariachi music.
History[edit]
The album was released in late 1987[3] and immediately became a global smash hit. At 2½ million US sales, it stands as the biggest selling non-English language album in American record history. This album has been RIAA certified double-platinum (for over 2 million US copies sold) and also won Ronstadt the Grammy Award for Best Mexican/Mexican-American Album at the 31st Grammy Awards.
These canciones were a big part of Ronstadt's family tradition and musical roots. The title Canciones de Mi Padre refers to a booklet that the University of Arizona published in 1946 for Ronstadt's deceased aunt, Luisa Espinel, who had been an international singer in the 1920s.[4] The songs come from Sonora and Ronstadt included her favorites on the album. Also, Ronstadt has credited the late Mexican singer Lola Beltrán as an influence in her own singing style, and she recalls how a frequent guest to the Ronstadt home, Eduardo 'Lalo' Guerrero, father of Chicano music, would often serenade her as child with these songs.[5]
In the accompanying printed material, each song's Spanish lyrics were paired with an English translation and a discussion of the song's background or its significance for Ronstadt (omitted on the CD). Rubén Fuentes served as musical director/bandleader. Follow-up albums include Mas Canciones, Frenesí, and the Rhino Records compilation Mi Jardin Azul: Las Canciones Favoritas, which collects songs from the previous three Spanish-language albums.Las Canciones de mi Padre, also is the only recording production in the world that used the 3 best Mariachi bands in the world: Mariachi Vargas, Mariachi Los Camperos and Mariachi Los Galleros de Pedro Rey. As of 2012, Canciones de Mi Padre had sold nearly 10 million copies worldwide.
Although sometimes referred to as Ronstadt's first Spanish-language recordings, in fact she had recorded several times in the language before, including 'Lo Siento mi Vida', a song she co-wrote for her 1976 album, Hasten Down the Wind, and 'Lago Azul,' a Spanish translation of 'Blue Bayou', that was released as a single following her hit English version from her 1977 album, Simple Dreams.
