Album Notes Personnel includes: Linda Ronstadt, Mike Ronstadt, Pete Ronstadt (vocals); Gilberto Puente, Raul Puente, Leonel Galves (guitar); Nati Cano, Jose "Pepe" Martinez (violin); Katie McElrath, Angela Koregalos (flute); Martin Lara (trumpet); Flaco Jiminez (accordion). Producers: George Massenburg, Ruben Fuentes. Recorded at Skywalker Sound, Marin County, California. This 1991 followup to 1987's successful CANCIONES DE MI PADRE continues Linda Ronstadt's innovative musical exploration of her roots. Once again, producer and arranger Ruben Fuentes is on hand to provide authentic orchestral accompaniment to classic Mexican songs handpicked by Linda and her brothers, who sing together as a trio on several tracks. The orchestra is also bit smaller this time, which perhaps accounts for Ronstadt's greater confidence in presenting this delightful material. What strikes the listener again is how different Ronstadt sounds performing this material. She swoops and sways and twists her syllables like a native, while manifesting a highly expressive sob never heard when she sings in English.
