I haven't listened to mexican music in a while, much less ranchera but I, like most Mexicans, know and love alot of Vicente songs and consider him among Mexico's national treasures. This album got me back to listening to Mexican music again since I was hooked when I first heard the album (track 2). I also just learned that Joan Sebastian is responsible for writing all the tracks on this wonderful album. It's a fantastic album with wonderful lyrics (which makes or breaks a song for me) and once sung with Chente's wonderful voice, the album becomes irresistible. If Chente worked with Joan on the rest of his albums, I'd get them all. A second choice would have to be Marco Antonio Solis, also capable of writing in any genre if he feels like it. I haven't missed an album since "Mi Fantasia". Anyways, below are my fav 4 for now.

- Top 4:

- A Quien Vas a Amar Mas Que a Mi - "No vas hallar al ser maravilloso al ser perfecto, que rebase este amor y que en efecto, te entregue todo y mas de lo que di" OH MY GOD! Wonderful

- Niña Hechicera - Great tempo and Vicente makes you want to sing along.

- Para Siempre - Nice and slow guitar star with Chente singing: "Vale mas un buen amor, que mil costales de oro..." How true.

- Millon De Primaveras - Have someone in your past you just can't get over? This song is for you.

Here is what else I listen to when not Chente (Como Me Haces Falta is an example of great lyrics, at least for me, on this Bukis album):

It says alot about Don Fernandez that he still is the best the ranchera world has to offer even though he's been around for decades.

His voice is still strong, the arrangements are just right, the lyrics are beautiful, and the songwriting is superb (thanks to Joan Sebastian).

First ranchera album i've purchased in years. They haven't been particularly great this decade.

Thank you Vicente and Joan for getting me to listen to it again.

I searched all over to find this cd but could only find the DVD. So was happy to find it on Amazon. It arrived quickly and this album is my all time favorite. I love most of Vicente Fernandez' music but Para Siempe is beautiful. Love that spanish guitar.

It's amazing that he still has such a strong and beautiful voice at his age. Love him.

Great CD, you can never go wrong with Don Chente, loved almost every song...it's one of those CD's that every song is a hit. It arrived quick, brand new, in its sealed package.

It's of no surprise to Vicente Fernandez' millions of fans that his he has reached the pinnacle of his artistic excellence, for quite some time now. This time, Vicente teams up with Joan Sabestian, a fellow friend and great artistic talent to write all compositions and arrangements for this outstanding 12 song CD: "A Quien Vas A Amar Mas Que A Mi," "Para Siempre," "Estos Celos," "Adorado Tormento," "El Ultimo Beso," and "El Ultimo En La Fila." These song selections stand out because Joan Sabestian knows that Vicente possess a gifted voice that only very few artists ever attain. Vicente Fernandez is able to deliver the perfect tonal range while staying in harmony when he is singing classical ranchera style of music to a ballad as in a bolero ranchero. Vicente Fernandez always maintains his perfect and clear tonal range from a powerful and robust melody to the precise flow in following the words to execute a velvety smooth bolero ranchero. This is a true measure for Vicente Fernandez' artistic success and why he is considered by millions of fans "El Numero Uno of Musica Ranchera! Vicente has had many recordings and they all contain a premium quality of entertainment with million sellers all. To a very proud and honest man, that has toiled long and hard to earn the respect and admiration of many loyal fans worldwide. This compact disc provides yet another example to a living legend, a legacy that will last "PARA SIEMPRE!" Muchas Gracias Vicente!
