What no one can deny about it is that its practitioners, Vicente Fernandez chief (or king) among them, display a style and a vigor that few genres of music can match. To be sure, Vicente Fernandez has one of the most loyal followings of any musician, with record and ticket sales to prove it.

From his start at a singing contest in Guadalajara, this native of Jalisco moved quickly into television and professional singing. Once he gave up his menial jobs as shoe-shine boy and dishwasher to pursue his acting and singing full-time, his career took off. A move to Mexico City gave him the audience he needed.

Fernandez developed his personal singing style by accident. He had to perform the evening his father died, and he was overcome by emotion. His audience responded with enthusiasm to his emotive readings of his songs, and from that moment he knew how to reach his fans, by showing how the heart-wrenching tunes affected him, rather than trying to be stoic.

Now, more than 40 years into his spectacular career, Vicente Fernandez continues to wow his audiences with his flashy ranchera outfits and his huge sombreros. Tickets to his concerts go incredibly fast, so don't wait to get yours - soon there won't be any for you to get.
