Pedro Infante - Boleros y Rancheras


It's a mystery to me how I got hold of this compilation because as of last week the only trace I could find of its existence outside my library was a sole archived post from a Mexican blog at the other end of a Tiny Eye reverse image search for this cover.

I love ranchera music. My introduction to the genre was a Jorge Negrete compilation I acquired while on a cruise excursion portside in Baja. This selection likewise appeals to me on a very emotional level, with its swelling strings, rousing brass and expressive singing.
