"...and the spirit with which she interprets this great variety of musical styles -- from ballads to rollicking rancheras -- is truly incomparable. "La Folklorica Mas Bonita" is a collection of some of Mexico's most beloved songs: it's not only a lilting trip through the country's regions and their music, but a great way to hear and enjoy Spanish as it's actually spoken, in all its expressiveness. Beatriz conveys emotions from the most poignant to the most in-your-face, and she has a wondrous, laugh-out-loud, sense of humor. It so happens that my two favorite songs are the last two, "Soy La Otra" and "Las Margaritas", one a bittersweet ballad and the other an outlandish polka, but I NEVER fast-forward through the rest of the CD -- its range of tracks, and the range of Beatriz' voice, are worth experiencing again and again."
