Making a dramatic departure from her rock and country-pop repertoire, the legendary vocalist honored her Mexican-American heritage with a stunning collection of traditional rancheras. 'Canciones de mi padre' pairs her powerhouse vocals with world-class mariachi orchestration, executing historical folk songs with immense passion and authenticity. The release became the biggest-selling non-English language album in US history, bringing traditional Mexican music to a massive mainstream audience.
