Vicente Fernández (born Vicente Fernández Gómez on February 17, 1940) is a Mexican ranchera singer. In addition to his own hit recordings, many of his songs have been recorded successfully by recording artists around the Spanish-speaking world, most notably by Pedro Infante, Rocío Durcal, Javier Solís, Pedro Fernández, Jorge Negrete, Vikki Carr, Luis Miguel, Lola Beltrán, Lucha Villa, Vicente Fernández and by spaniards Joaquín Sabina and Manolo García.
Among the most famous are Ella, Media Vuelta, El Rey, El Jinete, Si Nos Dejan, Amanecí Entre Tus Brazos, Cuando el Destino, El Caballo Blanco, Llegó Borracho el Borracho and Que Te Vaya Bonito, as well as Camino de Guanajuato, where he sang about his home state of Guanajuato as well as his home town of Dolores Hidalgo Guanajuato. Nonetheless he composed more than 1000 songs. He had no musical training-according to the singer Miguel Aceves Mejía, Jiménez didn't play an instrument and didn't even know the Spanish terms for "waltz" and "key". His songs are considered part of the Mexican musical heritage and comparable, for instance, to what Woody Guthrie meant to American folk music.
Nastos in his review for AllMusic stated, "It's unlikely you'll find a better pairing of an amazing singer and accompanist anywhere else, no matter the music type, but if you enjoy the classic Latin song performed with every ounce of emotion available, this recording will be impossible to resist.José Alfredo Jiménez (born Januin Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, died Novemin Mexico City, Mexico) was a Mexican singer-songwriter in the ranchera style. Almodóvar made a glowing evaluation of the album, with an emphasis on Buika's renditions. It features a note written by director Pedro Almodóvar, who had worked repeatedly with Vargas. Javier Limón describes the concept of the album as bringing together "Afro-Cuban Jazz idol" Chucho Valdés with "Afro-Flamenco Jazz" singer Buika, working on the ranchera songs originally sung by Costa Rican-Mexican Chavela Vargas.
