Rocío Dúrcal
our beloved Ranchera singer, passed away yesterday from cancer. For those of you who didn't know her, she was a Spanish actress and singer who sang with a sweet but powering voice. She was adopted by the Mexican people as one of their own and dominated the female Ranchera genre. She teamed up with Mexican icon Juan Gabriel to produce some of the most exquisite and most engaging music. With a melodic voice, she sang every song with fierce passion. This a tragic day for Latin America. I urge you to play her music all day long, and if you don't own any, then go out and buy one of her CDs. My favorite is Peticion Del Publico: Sus 16 Grandes Exitos, although it most certainly is not her best…
