First Time Hearing Linda Ronstadt - La Charreada (Reaction!)

[@videoinformer]

This is "La Cigara", not "La Charreada", which you can react to at this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iF7OZZh7iNmEl5I La cigara is Spanish for the cicada. La charreada is Spanish for the rodeo. If this song wowed you, "La Charreada" will floor you! BTW: You've only heard three of about six totally different kinds of singing you'll hear from Linda Ronstadt. She's incomparably versatile! Check out "Different Drum" and "Skylark" for two more totally different *kinds* of singing, totally different genres of music.

[@traceyraffle6675]

Linda has been a huge star for decades :) Her health no longer allows her to perform, but thanks to videos like this her voice can continue to amaze :) If you're not aware...the band the Eagles were originally her back up band :)

[@thomastimlin1724]

Three Eagles I believe , not the entire band, and they weren't known as the Eagles then.

[@laraismyname821]

I can't listen to those long notes of hers without feeling like I'm running out of air myself & have to catch my breath. I don't know how she does it. It's like supernatural.

[@opalmay70]

I had NO idea Linda Ronstadt could do that!! Holy wind pipes!! I first heard her in the 70's and OMG!!

[@ChrisDeWine]

Linda earned a Grammy for her album "Canciones de Mi' Padre", which this is from. It was her 3rd different genre, she has Grammys in 5 different genre's, which is a feat no other artist can come close. Canciones was recorded in 1987 and is still today the largest selling non English album in American Recording history.

[@debbiechang5781]

This woman’s voice is totally amazing. Even though I have been listening to her for over 50 years, I am still dazzled by her pipes. She is my favorite female vocalist of all time. Thanks for continuing to explore her music. 🌺✌️

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

This music is called Mariachi. Her father is Mexican.

[@mannybravo237]

I think the bass guitaristo at 5:55 is plucking the strings, like plucking a harp, he's not patting it. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@dagmar.6954]

Linda Ronstadt is one of the best female singers & can sing any genre from ballads to country to rock & even opera. She has Mexican heritage on her dad's side. Growing up she listened to many types of music, including Mexican music, which was sung by her entire family. She does a great job singing in Spanish. I have the album "Canciones de Mi Padre (Spanish for "Songs of My Father"). Sadly she now has progressive supranuclear palsy & can no longer sing a note.

[@josephvasquez6772]

Linda sang from the heart, she did things her way. This album was dedicated to her father.

[@mikedineen7857]

No one has a voice like Linda’s.

[@barbarasimmons5777]

That guy behind her is one of the basses. She was warned not to do her Spanish album, that it would ruin her career. She did it anyway-- Canciones de mi padre (It's tribute to her Dad.) It immediately flew up the charts. Went double platinum. At 2.5 million sales in the US alone, it continues to be the largest selling non-English language album in American recording history. Go Linda!!! ❤ (some info from Wiki)

[@User_gin_aikensc_92753]

She did so many great songs, and great duets. "I Don't Know Much," with Aaron Neville is excellent. Her voice is amazing. "Somewhere Out There" with James Ingram is another great duet.

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

Linda does an awesome cover of 'Tumbling Dice' and her 'Long Long Time' is a goosebump generating machine! Cheers.

[@andrewwhyte9944]

The man behind Linda is plucking an acoustic bass guitar.

[@jimvelde6041]

[@thehorrorfanx]

Linda is one of the greats. Wishing her all the best.

[@arieloh1767]

Love this song!

[@sharonpate5481]

She has such breath control! And she makes it look so easy. I saw her in concert in the early 80’s. Imagine my ticket cost $7.50! 👵🏼💜☮️

[@poindexterjones206]

I love Linda. I saw her back in the day. Such a powerful voice and cool person.

[@loisrogers9042]

I could listen to this album every day.

[@mykelmontoya9311]

I love you stepped out your box again

[@cheriekearns889]

Wow so absolutely amazing ❤❤

[@c.henderson2663]

Linda released the album Canciones de Mi Padre (Songs of my Father) in 1987 to honor her Mexican heritage. The album immediately became a global smash hit. At 2½ million US sales, it stands as the biggest selling non-English language album in American record history. Linda is unparalleled, she sampled many music genres and was a smashing success in all of them.

[@bryanCJC2105]

Linda Ronstadt grew up listening to her family's music from her Mexican heritage. This singing style is a traditional singing style of Mexican Rancheras and Mariachi music. From her earliest Rock & Roll days, she always stated that she grew up singing Mexican music and was influenced by some of the mega-artists of Mexico like Lola Beltran. Linda Ronstadt is retired from music and, sadly, has a disease that took her singing voice away. Her Spanish albums are among the highest selling Spanish language albums of all time in the US and in Latin America.

[@bigbow62]

Linda can do it all... one of the true legends in music history ❤

[@terryhefty]

Linda is Mexican born in Arizona she sang rock ‘n’ roll in the 60s and 70s she saying a lot of music with orchestras in the 80s. You really should check that out her songs are incredible and then towards the end she went back to her Mexican roots and sang mariachi music check out her CD called Canciones, De mi Padres. She’s amazing.

[@whoneedssantawhenthereisgr1724]

Linda is the best !

[@bogeybob3]

You will love some Jackson Browne, Running on empty, Somebody's baby, Doctor My Eyes, the Pretender and more.

[@Marrero79]

Linda has a song called “Adios” that doesn’t get much attention but it is definitely worth checking out. 💜💕💜💕💜💕

[@pattylyons9645]

The guys with the hats are a Mariachi band.

[@bearballin]

The musicians are called Mariachis...

[@richardmunger6553]

the hats are sombreros!!!!

[@bar5radass]

This is La Cigarra. She’s got quite a few Spanish language songs that are incredible.

[@magicbrownie1357]

The style of music is a Mexican folk music called Mariachi.

[@TheDivayenta]

This is La Cigarra- The Cicada. La Charreada is great too!!!! This is Linda’s heritage- she’s singing Mexican Mariachi music. She’s recreating the Mexican rodeo culture.

[@corralescoyote]

This song is La CIgarra - I think La CHarreada is a different tune…. No worries 😊My grandma had this album (both volumes) on cassette in her kitchen when I was growing up… Very nostalgic… ❤ lots of love from NM

[@fonsymoncy2241]

What a handsome man! 😍😙😙😙😙

[@mandyrhee]

Shon, you should do Oktaf Kanis - Starlight, thank you 🙌🏻

[@jessquinn6106]

Yeah. I had a crush on Linda in the 1980's.

[@armandomartinez1298]

The big guitar the mariachi is playing is called a Guitarron. Is pretty much the Bass guitar

[@elenagarcia3454]

Thank you for reacting to this. Please do more of her Spanish songs. The album Canciones de mi Padre is amazing! She is very much loved here in New Mexico.

[@mikefinity7129]

And Old Mexico too, I betcha

[@danr19]

In fact this song is 'La Cigarra (The Cicada)' La Charreada (Rodeo) is another great song you can react. Anyway, great reaction!

[@loisrogers9042]

Mariachi

[@AnitaAshhh]

Hi Shon, next react to 'Oktaf Kanis - Starlight'.

[@GarethLone]

Yes Starlight! Ear catchy song 😎

[@AnitaAshhh]

@@GarethLone sure :)

[@RichardHolguin-y6w]

He's playing the bass guitar, and he is pulling the strings. It's the same concept as slapping the strings on an electric bass guitar.

[@shorty9617]

Check out 'I Knew You When" by Linda for later but earlier than this and very different.

[@Joel_Matrix]

Unfortunately, That's not Linda Ronstadt and Mariachi Vargas La Charreada. But I can't wait to see your reaction to it. I'm one of them that suggested it.

[@pres96ton]

Look up POOR WANDERING ONE where she sings coloratura soprano in an opera on broadway for a year. Then WHAT'S NEW LIVE with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra...BIG BAND....Tumbling Dice....ROCK ADIOS....arranged by Brian Wilson of the Bearch Boys, beautiful harmony. I CAN"T HELP IT IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU...country and western....Desperado....she took an EAGLES song that was a flop and made it a hit...and on and on

[@MariaCastillo-xd7bu]

Hello, holding a note with vibrato for a long time is very common with our music singers. I invite you to listen to "El Pastor" with mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán.

[@HagFan87]

100 million records sold later. Needs no more recognition

[@angieday5183]

Mariachi band

[@michellebuchanan730]

She practice every day for six hours a day for 6 years to hone her voice

[@GoWestYoungMan]

You labeled it 'La Charreada' (which you should also check out) but this song is La Cigarra.

[@edwardpate6128]

Check out Linda's version of the American classic song Skylark. There seemed to be nothing she cannot sing.

[@carmengerughty2786]

Try to listen to this other Mexican singer, her name is Estela Núñez, the name of the song is Aires del Mayab. You would like her too. ⚘️

[@bearballin]

This song is La Cigarra, not La Charreda.

[@mikefinity7129]

NOW! Let's see a reactio to La Charreada!

[@evelyngilvilla7830]

06:13 answer to your question: he is counting beats.

[@sherylhenley1931]

Loved your reaction! She's so talented! So sad that she got Parkinsons Disease and her wonderful voice was taken from her.

[@jameswiglesworth5004]

She was wrongly diagnosed with Parkinson's and has progressive supranuclear palsy

[@jbs256]

Shon another 🔥 song from Linda. On another post, not with you, the topic was Karen Carpenter and her greatness, which I think she was. I commented you’d have to include Linda Ronstadt in that list of GOAT. I got shot down by an (I won’t use the bad word here). I let it go as they simply have no idea. You just heard why Linda is in that class. One of my faves is the song Alison. Not as dramatic but beautiful nonetheless. I don’t think there’s a video, maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️, just a single picture of her tying her skate laces. Yeah ❤️. Great reaction! Keep going.

[@debbiechang5781]

Anyone who doesn’t think Linda fits in the top category is listening with their head up their ass.

[@randyventresca4152]

Karen Carpenter was great but Linda Ronstadt blows her out of the water in diversity and vocal range. Carpenter mainly sang milk toast pop songs. Linda took her voice to the stratosphere.

[@trishriley9681]

❤ Lady goat

[@desireeedwards8858]

Please please please react to Tori Amos - check out her live version of Winter and Me & a Gun. And also Florence and the Machine. Big God & Cosmic Love. Amazing powerhouse female singers.

[@Jbd831]

🔥🔥🔥🌲🌲🌲

[@cheriekearns889]

Nice❤❤

[@eviekelpie1]

Please now do La Charreada, since you've got the title in your thumbnail

[@mattreynolds612]

Wrong title but 🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🎶🎶🎵🎶✌️🩵

[@gironez]

You should do a reaction to Linda's Heat Wave, I though She was black

[@RJ-oy7cq]

You got the wrong song in your title.

[@seerofallthatisobvious1316]

Linda who? We should look into her music.

[@vicmusgrave1278]

Whitney Houston and Linda are best female singers.

[@countryboyyyfl]

Can we see a reaction to Stevie Ray Vaughan Voodoo Child live at the El mocombo? Thank you sir.

[@paintedjaguar]

💫Okay, I dare ya... here's another tune with some international spice, plus essence of early 1960s modern cool - a really catchy Italian number from the movie "The Pink Panther" (1963) with a show stopping performance from singer Fran Jeffries. This is the best available video of "Meglio Stasera (It Had Better Be Tonight)" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bouzo56qn7Foprs

[@davidfein3123]

Sorry Linda, made todays artists like autotune Beyoncé look like nothing

[@alexeifernandez8627]

this is the wrong song this la cigarra and no la charreada

[@randallcastillo2179]

It's cal.ed a gitarron...little guitar

[@Сергейнемид]

Please listen to new song by Diana Ankudinova the day you...

[@evanhughes1510]

I’m sick of every reactor doing only this song by Linda Ronstadt. It’s always either this one or Blue Bayou that everyone reacts to! Wish people would react to her many other songs!

[@seizer88]

Unfortunately she fell ill and can't sing anymore. Oh and you have the wrong song title on this. This song is called "La Cigarra" which is Spanish for the Cicada, a (June bug).
