Editorial Reviews

Spanish bred actor and singer Rocio Durcal is one of the most beloved and best-known figures in all of Latin entertainment. With a career spanning better than 40 years, the classic beauty of an old-school movie star, a voice of silk, and charismatic feminine mystique, Durcal enchants audiences with romantic pop songs, ballads, and Mexican ranchera. Here on Entre Tangos Y Mariachi ["Between Tangos and Mariachi"], the silvery-voiced siren emotes the classic hits of well-known Argentinean composers in the torch song hybrid tradition of bolero rancheras. Accompanied by a Mexican rhythm section and the Symphonic Orchestra of London, Durcal soars through the arrangements of noted producer Bebu Silvetti, with whom she has worked on previous outings.

Elegant, romantic, and swelling, Entre Tangos Y Mariachi sets the stage for a ballroom of crystal chandeliers, sophisticated cocktails, and whispered seduction, as finely turned out couples dance cheek to cheek, breast to breast. --Paige La Grone

5 out of 5 stars IN MEMORY OF A FIRST-CLASS ENTERTAINER.......2006-03-26

just read this morning of the very very sad news of this great singer's passing after a long battle with cancer...a kind, wonderful, classy entertainer with an unequalled voice who will never ever be forgotten.

this particular album from a few years back is one of my all-time favorites ..timeless spanish standards interpreted with incredible range and style by one of the greatest singers of spanish songs.....what more can be said ?

God bless you Rocio, may you now be at peace

5 out of 5 stars a fresh look at old favorites.......2001-11-15

These great Argentine standards, 6 of them made famous by the great Libertad Lamarque, are here given terrific interpretations...heartfelt and with superb phrasing, Rocio brings them to life in her own special way.
Bebu Silvetti is a marvel. His lush and gorgeous arrangements and production are exquisite, and a perfect complement to Rocio's voice.
Favorites are "Nostalgias" and "A Media Luz", but all the tracks are melodic and lovely, and make for a satisfying CD from start to finish.

The beautiful Rocio, with a stunning cover photo (which might invite comparisons to Diana Krall's "The Look of Love" CD...but Rocio's came first !), has done it again, and given us another winner :)

5 out of 5 stars Elegante Durcal.......2001-06-13

If you don't know Rocio Durcal, this disc is a terrific intro to a most accessible gran cantadora. This is Piaf for our bicultural times. The tango with a large dose of mexicanismo is enchanting. I am ready to toss on feathers and pearls and dance the night away. As smooth as Ella Fitzgerald singing ballads, as passionate as, well, la mujer hispana. I loved this disc.
