NOTES

Alejandro Fernandez
built a huge,
loyal following
in both North
America and his
native Mexico
throughout the
1990s and 2000s
singing mariachi
tunes and ballads
in a traditional
style. Fernandez's
sensuous voice
and passionate
delivery are perfectly
suited to the
style. (His movie-star
good looks don't
hurt, either).
VIENTO A FAVOR
(2007) offers
more stirring
performances from
the singer. The
disc has a Latin
pop edge, but
the old-school,
romantic vibe
is still here
in full effect.
