Hecho En Mexico

For decades, singer Alejandro Fernandez has argued the continued relevance of Mexican Regional music. So strident is his thinking that he often mixes classic regional and traditional songs with trendy Latin pop on his albums. That said, Fernandez returns completely to his roots on Hecho en Mexico, with 11 new songs exclusively in the mariachi and ranchera vernaculars. Produced by Aureo Baqueiro, it was recorded in Barcelona, ??Los Angeles, and New York, and features songs by Christian Nodal (who also duets with Fernandez on "Mas No Puedo"), Luis Carlos Monroy, Jorge Massias, and Chico Elizalde. On the track "Menti," Fernandez enlisted the still-beautiful voice of his octogenarian father, the great Vicente Fernandez.
