Coleccion Original

"All but one of the songs on this new compilation (digitally re-mastered too!) of material are from a concert that Lucha Villa gave in Mexico around 1984 when she was recording for the RCA/Arriola label. She is backed here by Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan, and is in very fine voice throughout the disc. She sings some of her biggest hits, including Amaneci En Tus Brazos, Fina Estampa and Declarate Inocente. She also does a "popurri" of other songs by Jose Alfredo Jimenez. The one song on this disc not from the concert is No Discutamos. It is from another very nice album entitled, Lucha Villa Interpreta a Juan Gabriel, also originally on the RCA label, and one of her biggest sellers. I love this live recording because it demonstrates Lucha's incredible ability to convey so many different emotions with her voice. Her interaction with Mariachi Vargas is wonderful, something you don't get to hear on stuff produced in the studio. Many of the classic recordings Lucha Villa made in the 60's and 70's were done with this group, and it's easy to sense how comfortable Lucha and these guys are performing together. Those fans who are looking for material Lucha Villa recorded on the Musart label in the 60's and 70's will be disappointed to know that only a few of these are currently available. However, there have been some recordings from that time period released recently that have been digitally re-mastered. These include "El Gallo De Oro", "El Quelite" and full albums of songs by Juan Gabriel and Jose Alfredo Jimenez. Anyone seriously interested in Lucha Villa would do well to collect all of these, in addition to Collecion Original."
