Amazon.com Delicious--that's the perfect way to describe Spanish vocalist Rocio Durcal's Alma Ranchera. The appropriately titled songbook of ranchera classics seems written specifically for Durcal, who infuses every lyric with charm, class and a touch of sass. It's an alluring combination that crackles with a crisp, modern energy. The album is equally energized by the lush, exquisite production and arrangement of Memo Gil and Carlos Cabral "Junior," who have made Alma Ranchera a first-class affair. Durcal's take on such gems as Vete a Volar, Cucurrucucú Paloma and Fiesta en el Corazon is absolute perfection. She even tackles La Media Vuelta, a standard often associated with Luis Miguel, and makes it her own. Durcal's voice, always in fine form, is nothing short of superb here. It doesn't get much better than this. --Joey Guerra Similar CDs

R.I.P. Reymundo Martinez | San Antonio, Tx USA | 03/26/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "The angels in heaven add another angelic voice to their repertoire. A huge loss to earth. Such a great talent." Her love affair with Mexico Enrique Torres | San Diegotitlan, Califas | 01/21/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "The late Spanish songstress Rocio Ducal loved Mexico and this is her final love song to Mexico. I look at it as her final gift to Mexico and the world. When this was released I played it non-stop and of late enjoy it frequently on the I-Pod rotation. It is sublime. The arrangements are first class and deserving of a classy woman. Her voice is crytaline and filled with heart felt emotion. This is not really typical mariachi music, which is best associated with rancheras, but rather Rocio's own special interpretations coupled with fancy, elegant arrangements only fitting for a Spanish diva. Check out "Amaneci en tus Brazos", penned by Jose Alfredo Jimenez, to see the mixture of the traditional style of mariachi and orchestration as an example. Ditto for " La Media vuelta." The songs are just lovely. Her interpretation of "Cucurucucu Paloma" is the perfect vechicle to show off Rocio's vocal range (she really hits the high notes)and depth coupled with folkloric yet modern orchestra arrangements. Sadly, she is gone from this world. If you listen to the love song "Si Dios me quita la vida"(If God takes my life)as she sings about one lover leaving before another , there is a melancholoy flavor to the song that is even sadder now that she is gone. Not one to dwell on her own mortality(she knew she was dying)and be sad , she wanted to rejoice in life . In this her final gift to Mexico and the world, rejoice in her life and enjoy the music she has left us. Highly recommended."
