"His voice is as powerful and beautiful as ever. His voice is ageless. this recording has the best selection of corridos, some of them he recorded before. I really enjoyed them and this is a must for any Vicente Fernandez fan or anyone who loves corridos. There is not many out there with a voice like him and if you have the chance to see him live, it's really worth it. His concerts are almost 3 hours and he sings continuously. His voice is the same live, beautiful and powerful. Chente is the best !"

Chente's new corridas

"Chente has an extensive discography so it is hard to say where to begin if you are new to Chente; this recent release is as good as any place to begin your musical quest.Gone is the jet black dye in his hair but his pipes show no age.The ageless wonder delivers some of his best work in recent years on this disc. His heartfelt and emotional voice has magnificent range even at his advanced age. This collection of corridos(stories in song about individuals)is his first new release in 25years and the material is fantastic; he made his mark recording corridas early on in his career. The beauty is that each song tells a different story about life in Mexico, from different time periods and distinct locations. The themes are as varied as the culture. The stories of gun fights and other fights, drinking and carrousing, horses and historical dates is like a colorful musical travelogue across the little pueblitos(towns) of Mexico. Each and every song is strong and stands alone on it's own merit. If I had to pick a favorite I'd choose "Le Pusieron 7 Leguas." The bonus track is a hilarious cartoon or animated number entitled "Al Mayor De Los Fernandez" featuring his boys Alejandro and Vicente Jr. Don't miss this one. For old and new fans of Chente. La musica es cultura (The music is culture)."
