No El abuelo de Linda,por parte de padre era un alemán que emigró a México ,allí se caso con una *mexicana* de origen inglés,/holandés, el matrimonio emigró a EEUU,adquirieron la nacionalidad,se establecieron en Tucson, Arizona Allí nació el papá de Linda Él se caso con una (el gentilicio para alguien de EEUU,en español es estadounidense,pero ustedes dicen ¿americana?) era de Michigan,creo que también de origen inglés Así que los abuelos de Linda eran los escuchaban estas canciones,y claro su papá también,y al igual que Linda crecio con esta música, amaban este género También escuchaban la radio mexicana, por la cercanía de la frontera, esto ,y que en Arizona había muchos descendientes de mexicanos ,de echo Arizona perteneció a México Ese es el motivo de título el álbum *canciones de mi padre*...(por hacer honor a lo que su papá escuchaba) Linda en una entrevista que le hicieron en México, (ella contestaba en ingles) afirmó que la musica que le influenció y que admiraba era la de la gran Lola Beltrán, con la que llegó a cantar en alguna ocasión Asi pues ,Linda también nació en Tucson,y no sabía absolutamente nada de español,pero nada de nada, lo que ella podia *hablar* por decirlo de algun modo ,eran las letras de las canciones que escuchaba Así que tiene una doble dificultad, por que canta en un idioma que no es el suyo ,que no es con el que ha crecido ¡¡¡y lo borda!!! Voz, sentimiento, pronuncia perfecto Los que hablamos español si no supiéramos la historia de ella creeriamos que ella lo habla, pero no Por eso la confusión,por que entre el título del álbum y esa perfecta pronunciación todos dieron por echo que el padre era mexicano y que ella sabía español Nada de eso Además ella empezó bien joven cantando ,folck ,country ,rock..tiene 11 grammys, entre otros premios,mucho antes de que grabara este *album* Ha cantado todos los géneros, musicales etc.... Vean una actuación que tiene con Chuck Berry Es una cantante muy muy reconocida en su país, e internacionalmente antes que cantar este género (la ranchera) del cual sólo tiene 2 discos y 1 de boleros Un dato, 3 de los músicos de su banda cuando le dijeron a Linda que se iban,(ella no se opuso y les deseo toda la suerte) ,fundaron el magistral grupo *The Eagles*,casi nada Saludos

I'm about as white as one can get with my Scot / Irish ancestry, and I do love all kinds of music, including traditional Irish and Scottish music too, I love me some bagpipes, and so I wouldn't know why, but Mariachi music just resonates with my soul, I absolutely love it! And this song as sung by Linda Ronstadt hits me right in the feels, its beautiful to hear the full band and her singing. Fantastic! My wife and I were at Xcaret the park in Playe del Carman Mexico a few months ago, say what you will about tourist traps, but they have a theatre, and we caught the show, it was a great show with fantastic Mariachi music, it was so great for me I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved traveling around Mexico and seeing the random Mariachi groups you hear as you travel around. My wife doesn't understand my fascination with it, but I love it!

Apart from all the beauty that surrounds you (crystal blue ocean, snow white beaches, ancient Mayan ruins, glorious tequila in open air pubs, etc), what I loved best was the local traditional music that greeted you almost everywhere. It is genuine, spontaneous, profound and heartfelt. So much more honest and rich than the music we get here. Just sublime stuff!

Oh my... Where to start with Linda? I guess by saying, without any reservation, that she is an American national treasure... And by saying so, is still an understatement. She sings in Spanish as well. (Perfect Spanish) Her father was Mexican and the one who encouraged her in music from the start. In the sixties , she was one of the first women singing Rock music (which then it was a male dominated genre). She was highly successful at it. ("You are no Good" is one of my favorites) She has also broken into other genres swimmingly making her extremely versatile. She has had any achievement award you could think of (repeatedly). My favorite songs by her are: "Long Long Time", "Heat Wave", "Will you still Love me Tomorrow", "Tracks of my Tears", "Just One Look" "Somewhere Out There" and a very famous duet with Aaron Neville, "I Don't Know Much" among many ..many others (These are the ones that immediately come to mind). Being bilingual, I can also appreciate and value her Spanish songs and achievements. My favorites in that 'Mariachi' department are: "La Charreada", "Tú, Solo Tú" , "Volver, Volver", "Por un Amor " and "La Cigarra" Thank you for bringing Linda back and for your reactions to music which I consider priceless. You are an impressive young man. Remain excellent... :) Jaime

We've been deprived, by the illness that took Linda's wonderful voice. I have three great regrets concerning music, when I had the chance, I didn't go see (because of laziness) ...Frank Sinatra...Ray Charles....and....Linda Ronstadt. What an incredible voice, I soo especially like her recordings with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra, suberb, all of her music, absolutely suberb. She is not a Spanish speaker, incredibly, she taught herself Spanish to honor her father and her grandfather (who sang to her in Spanish when she was young) and her Mexican heritage/ancestry.

@dagmar.6954 Жыл бұрын

Linda Ronstadt is one of the best female singers & can sing any genre from ballads to country to rock & opera. I have this cd of all her Spanish songs. She has had so many hits such as "Blue Bayou", "You're No Good", "Long Long Time", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "Desperado" etc. Ronstadt also did two great duets, "Somewhere Out There" (with James Ingram) & "Don't Know Much" (with Aaron Neville). The Eagles were her backing band till they went out on their own & she has covered a lot of their songs.

This is a personal translation I just to the best of my abbilities: The Cicada. Stop singing to me, cicada let’s stop with your chiming because when you sing it enters into my soul like a dagger., knowing that when you sing, you’re announcing your death. Oh, sailor, you sailor let me know if you do know because I can’t see if in the deepest Ocean there is something blacker than my sorrows… A little dove while flying with her little chest bleeding and wounded almost about to cry told me way much sadly “I went tired to flook for a reciprocated love…” Underneath the shade of a tree And while playing my guitar I want to die singing as the cicada dies...

I've only watched a few of your reactions so far, but I really like the ones I've seen. I love Linda Ronstadt's voice and her musical sensibilities! I would like to share another reaction idea with you that is also of a mariachi performance. The video is entitled "El pastor Arturo Vargas Mariachi Vargas En Vivo 2022" and you can find it on the channel "Omar Mora Mariachi". So, the group is called 'Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan' and I consider them the best mariachi band today. The lead singer is Arturo Vargas and the song is called "El Pastor". Mr Vargas has a vocal quality that is as smooth as butter. Probably the most remarkable aspects of his singing in this performance are his flawless falsetto and his insane breath control. I've seen other performances by this group of this song, but the particular version I'm recommending to you is a jaw dropper. It's hard enough to sing falsetto well and it's even harder to maintain a pure note while sustaining it, but maintain the purity of the note and have it remain even with no wavering for as long as HE sustains the note... well I've never seen anyone do it this well. The song is also beautiful, so that doesn't hurt. Anyway, this comment has gone on long enough, but I hope you get a chance to listen to this song and that you enjoy it as much as I do...every time I listen to it. Cheers!
