About the album
A las madrecitas de México, con cariño Vicente Fernandez, according to DoReSol
Two tracks from the album stand out for how they distill that essence. In María, for example, the more mature Vicente Fernández appears with lyrics about loyalty and time, and that repeating guitar arpeggio that feels like a sigh. The song sounds like a farewell without being one, with a tempo that shifts between calm and urgency, as if each note carried the weight of lived experience. On the other hand, Cuquita —dedicated to his wife— is a ranchera waltz where the melody intertwines with memories. There’s no grandiosity here, just Chente telling a story with the same natural ease he sang with in Guadalajara restaurants decades ago.
What’s curious is that, even though the album was released when his health was already declining, it doesn’t sound like a farewell. Rather, it’s a reminder that his music always had the power to make listeners feel at home. Recorded in Guadalajara with musicians from his closest circle, the material reflects the connection he never lost with his homeland. And though it doesn’t mention awards or records, the fact that it was one of his last works gives it a distinct value: it’s not just another album, but the closing of an era that began in the 1950s, when a young man from Huentitán el Alto won his first contest singing on a local stage.
