Para Siempre

Vicente Fernandez is not only the world's greatest living ranchera inger, he's also a true compadre who's willing to share the spotlight with his fellow artists. He's already paid tribute to iconic Mexican songwriters of yesteryear such as Jose Alfredo Jimenez and Agustin Lara. Now, he teams up with one of the most poetic composers of the past 35 years, The maestro Joan Sebastion, for an album with 12 brand new songs by Sebastian himself.

The king of ranchero music’s album cover isn’t the best portrayal of the great work you’ll find inside this 12-track disc, with songs written by Joan Sebastian for the Don Chente. From the tragic "La Derrota," the optimistic "Niña Hechicera" (with more of a pop arrangement), and, of course, the memorable "Para Siempre," the theme song from the Mexican soap Fuego en la Sangre, Fernández sings with such conviction that it’s hard not to consider this one of his best albums yet. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español )

La portada del nuevo álbum del rey de la música ranchera no es el mejor indicador del buen material que se encuentra a través de los 12 temas que Joan Sebastian escribió para Don Chente. Desde la trágica "La Derrota," la optimista "Niña Hechicera" (con un arreglo más pop), y por supuesto, la memorable "Para siempre," tema de la telenovela Fuego en la Sangre, Fernández las intepreta con tal esmero, que sin exagerar, se trata de uno de los mejores discos del cantante. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español )
