Nicknamed “The Idol of Mexico”, Vicente Fernández was a legendary Mexican artist singing in the traditional Ranchera style. It’s impossible to understate how big this guy was in Mexico during his heyday– he sold over 50 million albums worldwide, won four Grammy’s, and an astounding 14 Lo Nuestro Awards (basically Latin America’s version of the Grammy’s). He was effectively the sound of Ranchera music for decades, boasting a passionate tenor voice punctuated his with his trademark intense vibrato, and personified the passion of Latin American music in a way that few artists have ever managed to achieve. If you’re looking for Mexico’s Frank Sinatra, you’ve found him.
Standout Songs: “Volver, Volver”, “Amor De La Calle”, “Voy A Navegar”
