[@cary5818]

I love all of Linda ronstadt's music. And as a Latina I am so proud of her pride and activism for the Latinos. But she definitely has an accent. I've watched many of her interviews and she doesn't speak Spanish she understands it.

[@VeteranCapybara]

Guys, you should see the live version. She's even more powerful. Her version of La Cigarra is fantastic as well! Again, the live version 😎

[@topgazza]

Indeed, the live version is mind blowing

[@sallyhart3044]

I second this nomination!

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

I fourth!

[@mistersnitty7721]

Always do Linda live, if possible

[@Peter-oh3hc]

I almost always prefer the studio version. Linda is one of the few that live is better. You do sometimes have to find one that is recorded well

[@rosesilveira344]

As a Spanish speaking person of 60yrs. her Spanish is impeccable. I could not hear an accent. I knew Vicente Fernandez personally & listened to his singing in person. I hear his influence in her singing. Very well done Linda.

[@LivingConsciously707]

No accent

[@artmv1149]

I grew up in a Spanish speaking home as well and I agree. Her Spanish is very articulate here within the techniques of this complex and challenging singing style.

[@el_equidistante]

si tiene acento, muy muy ligero, de repente cuando pronuncia la LL y a veces la R la dice un poco como RR, no siempre, en esta canción no se nota tanto porque es son frases rápidas y cortas, pero sí es casi perfecto

[@joseluisalvarez147]

she doesnt have any accent !!!!! punto

[@lucio.martinez]

I can heard it. It's a chicano accent. Selena had it.

[@steventhaw3765]

History's Greatest Singing Voice!!! Wouldn't matter if she was from Mars!!!

[@angieday5183]

Should always do Linda live when it's available. The live version of this is mind blowing. She holds the notes even longer.

[@blitztim6416]

My wife is Mexican. We went to a Mariachi festival at the Hollywood Bowl. It was amazing. Those singers are top notch. I’m sure if Linda sang these songs when she was young that it helped her to develop her voice. My wife also we to see Linda live when she toured for this album. Everyone should experience a good mariachi band live.

[@keithcarper8809]

Linda grew up speaking English, but her family sang in Spanish. She has said she grew up thinking English is for speaking and Spanish is for singing.

[@lucio.martinez]

Wow, how beautiful!

[@tommuscatello9426]

You should also watch the live version. It is fantastic

[@jimmcevers9443]

Absolutely!!!

[@TheDivayenta]

Watch the LIVE version!!!!! It’s so beautiful! Her show recreates Rancheros culture with Mariachi Vargas and ballet folklorico!

[@kens32052]

You need to watch the live performance of this song.

[@clashfan2875]

I've watched her documentary she is not a Spanish speaker. She trained to learn the correct diction. There is footage of her working and recording this album and working with a vocal coach. In the exact same way she trained to sing operetta when she did Pirates of Penzance. She is Mexican American and she did grow up listening to this music. Her family was very musical and these were the songs her father sang.

[@dananderson3033]

I subscribed after hearing your informed reaction to Linda. Quoting Willie Nelson: "There are two kinds of men in this world: those with a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who've never heard of her."

[@hatchpool]

Linda is an amazingly talented lady, take a look at her in Pirates of Penzance singing "Poor wandering one" an amazing contrast in style. I have been a fan since the 60's!

[@thehorrorfanx]

OMG! Do the LIVE versions of her Spanish songs! They are mind-blowing!

[@gregplatt197]

She had a Spanish vocal coach who helped her learn phonetically and to rid her of any accent. Linda was a perfectionist and desperately wanted to get these songs done right!

[@envirogeekyyc]

Although she may not be a native speaker Linda grew up singing Mexican songs in the family home. Her two books are well worth reading, and will give you more about her musical career. I’ve experienced the power of mariachi first hand, my wife’s parents lived at Santa Anita for a few years. Sister in law went to school there and even had a mariachi band at her pre wedding family get together in Edmonton.

[@dalebuck7168]

I lived for years along the Texas border and down on the border in Arizona where Linda was born. We always called this style of Mariachi, Rodeo Mariachi! This is what we heard at all the Rodeos obviously...loved it. You must watch the live version of this and you will love it even more.

[@ChrisDeWine]

Y'all are heading down a rabbit hole of immense proportions by exploring Linda's diverse catalog. Linda's live performances are thought to be superior to her studio albums. There are many here on KZbin for you to delve into. One of my favorites is "You're No Good" which was performed on Midnight Special.

[@MrAbel25]

Linda Ronstadt canciones de mi padre live

[@scottanderson8420]

Qué reacción tan fantástica, me encantó. Todos los de mi edad estaban enamorados de Linda Ronstadt. Sería grandioso si todos habláramos más de un idioma. Paz y amor.♥️♥️ Sadly I only speak very bad broken Italian and even worse broken Spanish. I envy the fact that you are both fluent in more than one language. Thankfully music is an international language of sound.🕊 ❤️

[@artmv1149]

Very nice contribution to the thread....cheers from a fellow fan in Texas 😊.

[@DavidSilva-wb9zh]

So glad you are reviewing this album. I believe it went double platinum the first day it was released. The videos of the various live performances are also fantastic.

[@JeffreyCantelope]

She once said in an early interview, that she could only sing the music she grew up with in Tucson. She was exposed to Gilbert & Sullivan, Broadway show tunes, Opera, Country & Western, American Pop, Mariachi, Jazz and Classical.This created the foundation for each musical "detour" she made starting in the 80"s To that she added special training and coaching to prepare her for each genre. She is known as a perfectionist and so she worked hard. While a trained ear in The Big Band style of Jazz, Mariachi, or Gilbert & Sullivan can hear her slight imperfections; the rest of us hear the product of intensive training. She was born with a musical gift, was nurtured in the musical "hot house" that was her family home and the town of Tucson, was driven by determination and a search for musical perfection to achieve an inspiring life.

[@jmatt4life]

Linda Ronstadt also recorded an album trilogy of classic, big band standards with The Nelson Riddle Orchestra before dipping her toe into Spanish Mariachi Classics. Her voice and talent truly are unique!

[@coleensakamoto6844]

Linda does not speak or understand Spanish, per sey. She sings phonetically. You are truly missing out by only listening to the recording. In the "Conciones de Mi Padre" concert, each song is staged so beautifully. (All of it was inspired by Linda's vision of a night under the Mexican stars) The whole concert is available on youtube. You can also view each song separately there. There were no notes in this album that stated Linda's dad sang on it. (On her album "Hasten Down the Wind" she sang a song her father wrote - "Lo Siento MI Vida" - and she gave him full credit. So if he had sung on this album, I'm sure she would've said so.) However, her brothers sing with her on one song, and her niece, Mindy, sings "Y Andale!" with her and is also in the concert. I was privileged to see this concert 3 times over around a 2 year period. I use to play the CD multiple times EVERY DAY for around 3 years! I was able to sing several songs phonetically because of it and was asked by 2 close friends, a Mexican-American couple, to sing with Mariachis at their wedding reception. Scared to death, but did it. One of my most treasured memories. Regarding the topics Mariachis sing about....Mariachi, in essence, is Mexican "Country Music", is it not? 😊 Lastly, I want to make it clear....some people think Linda only talked about her Mexican ancestry when she got older. Not true! Linda ALWAYS talked about her Mexican heritage. There are filmed interviews of her talking about it & her love for Mexican music throughout her career. Mucha Gracias, Linda! You were a truly GREAT story teller. You make us "FEEL" each song with your unmatched voice and tender heart. You are a gift to us ALL.

[@sandramartins3592]

I grew up listen to Linda, she is amazing God Bless her sweet soul.

[@rosemarypugliese2984]

You just have to watch The Sound of My Voice, the documentary on her career and, sadly, the end of her voice. But you’ll get an idea of her amazing accomplishments.

[@jeffchampagne5587]

I don’t think her father was on the album, but it certainly was dedicated to him and I can’t believe you haven’t already listened to this album from beginning to end there’s not a bad cut on there

[@bendancar]

You two MUST check out her work with the Trio: Dolly Parton, Linda, and the great Emmylou Harris. Beautiful stuff. As Dolly said, "Linda can sing anything!"

[@andyanderson3628]

I don't care about the accent. I'm here for the woman who can hold notes for miles.

[@Mr.Thriver]

Thanks. She is very talented, indeed!!! This is a wonderful vehicle to showcase her extraordinary voice!!! The concert of this is available to watch. I recommend it!

[@russellgtyler8288]

Willie nelson said it best. There are only two kinds of men in the world, those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt, and those who have never heard of her.

[@lucio.martinez]

OMG, this is gold, a gem!! I'm Mexican born, US raised, and American, I'm a Pocho I came up in the 90's, so I heard Linda with Aaron Neville. They sang, "I Don't Know Much". I was shocked to learn that she was of Mexican blood and to hear these Classics! She performed this at a Grammy's, in the 80's! The accent is English, speaking (or singing), in Spanish. Selena also had this exact accent in Spanish. It's completely natural, chicanos are not natural Spa. speakers. I do believe I've heard Linda say that she did not speak Spa.

[@ccm9167]

This goes to show that she is the ultimate crossover artist Beautiful and Authentic as they say The Real Deal you guys should check out video if you have not seen it yet, Linda takes you places with a song, amazing performance!!!

[@bluesman3232]

I fell in love with Linda in 1974......it's been a long, long time, but well worth it!

[@kevinmcconnell3641]

This album is still the number one selling Spanish language of all time!! Yes you should watch the 1988 Grammy appearance, watch for Bonnie Raitte’s reaction at the end!! Linda can sing any genre of music. Check out her two albums with the Nelson Riddle orchestra, mid 20th century classics. Every singer that was anybody wanted to work with Nelson!!

[@mykelmontoya9311]

Hi I am a new subscriber I love this reaction. As a chicano born in new mexico this album was a really big deal for us. I believe it is still the best selling Spanish language album in America.

[@mikefinity7129]

The best selling of ANY non-English album ❤

[@richierich4538]

Im American of Mexican descent....my spanish is not great,but i grew up listening to mariachi music ever since i was born. Every time i hear the "grito" i feel so emotional and its hard to describe. Memories flood in and i find myself crying every time! The cultural pride is embedded in my blood 🇲🇽 🇺🇸

[@2299jsimon]

I remember the first time I ever heard this... I was stunned and I am from South Texas.

[@frankmartinez2655]

I like this couple they allow the score to go on a bit longer enough to get the pleasure of Linda's singing..Aye que bonita La Linda's canciones....

[@ferv6911]

BEST EVER review I’VE seen of Linda’s Spanish songs. Nice, professional and very RESPECTFUL comments: CONGRATULATIONS to you BOTH, you have such a good vibe together! Wish you the best in life to you both and as a couple.

[@NicknLex]

That is so sweet thank you very much for your kind words and support! 💗 It’s an honor to be discovering her work and to have you all guiding us through the journey is so special! ✨

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

Hi guys. Glad to hear you listen to Ms. Ronstadt's first Mexican music album. I'm an American with Mexican grandparents (abuelos) on both sides. For whatever reason I did not grow up speaking Spanish, and so I always refer to myself as 'un pocho'. I think Linda would admit she's a 'pocha'. We both grew up hearing the language and the music. She worked REALLY hard to get this down. (and yes, the Luis Miguel 'mariachi' recording is also very good) ¡Muchisimas gracias!

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

Absolutely!

[@DFWTexan42]

I highly recommend you watch the video of the live stage performance of this song. So much energy!

[@hildamarmolejo1568]

Mariachi here are world renowned on her album. As a child she said she thought people spoken in English and sang in Spanish. She is not fluent in speaking. One of her greatest influences as a singer was Lola Beltran. Love Linda! ❤

[@lamusiclover2264]

You have to see the video of this life performance. The fact is, Linda Ronstadt did not speak Spanish. Her father was Mexican and her mother was German, so Spanish was not the main language spoken in their home she learned these songs and their meaning, and took lessons in Spanish so that our pronunciation would be absolutely perfect. This is from the biggest selling Spanish language album in history. No. Her father is not on the album.

[@franksullivan1873]

Her voice is amazing.

[@rickluna5691]

Love Her. Thank you

[@pjesf]

“I hear an accent”. Nope, just impeccable pronunciation. I am like her in that I can pronounce perfectly (reading or singing) without having an accent and without being able to speak it fluently (it’s mostly the verb conjugation). She’s an amazing human

[@mireyaporter3631]

Amazing singer!

[@djtomt]

It's so cool to see your reaction to this music because I have been amazed by her performance and the authentic sound of mariachi evoked. I'm heartened that you connect to it because it seems so completely legit to me. Linda Ronstadt has been a force to reckon with in the music industry. She sold out concert halls and arenas all over the US for decades.

[@debbiechang5781]

The live version of this (and really any LR song) is so much better. But I really enjoyed your insights. I’m amused that Lex hears an accent and Nick doesn’t. In my opinion Linda Ronstadt has the most beautiful voice on the planet. Thanks for covering her on your channel. You two and your love for each other is adorable. 🌺✌️ I cannot find your reaction video for Linda singing “Desperado”. Has it been taken down? I would love to see it. 🌸

[@mauriciodelarosa2449]

Lex 🥰 is correct Linda’s Spanish has a slight accent which is not obvious to someone like Nick whose first language is not Spanish. I too like Lex learned English and Spanish simultaneously. Which makes me able to detect Linda’s accent even though it’s not a heavy one.

[@rubroken]

The sound quality is so much better than on the live version I listened to, but then, this is the studio recording

[@lindazee]

I just LOVE a full-throated, powerful, crystal-clear and passionate voice, and Linda Ronstadt possesses that and more. Her folkloric music is beautiful, as is she. I do hear a small accent, for sure. Whenever I listen to this, my face hurts from smiling so much!

[@tcme11]

Nice reaction. Linda was born in the U.S. and is not a native Spanish speaker. English is her first language. She learned Spanish for this album and as a tribute to her father. It's clear someone from Spain was one of her teachers. She does have a Spaniard (Spanish) accent, along with some gringo accent. Great job, either way.

[@jdavis9684]

I saw her on Broadway in Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance". She was great.

[@TheTudunka]

I saw this concert in San Antonio and I cried while hearing her sing - so much in her voice - reminds me of home!

[@michaelkeefe8494]

I've seen interviews where she said her Spanish was not good as a child, but that she grew up with these songs.

[@dangabbert3944]

I read that interview also. I inferred from her comment, that her Spanish, as an adult, was fine.

[@davidmolina3520]

Awesome talented Linda 🖐️

[@stephensmith3111]

The title of the album was taken from a small book of songs collected by Linda's aunt Luisa Ronstadt (published in 1946 by the University of Arizona). She performed under the name Luisa Espinel as a singer, dancer, and actress. Thus spake Wikipedia.

[@brucedillinger9448]

To my knowledge Linda's father, Gilbert, did not perform on this album. However, on her 1976 album HASTEN DOWN THE WIND, he co-wrote, along with Kenny Edwards and Linda, a song titled LO SIENTO MI VIDA. It's mostly in Spanish and is quite beautiful. Believe he may have provided some harmonies. Another song from the same album is TRY ME AGAIN. Linda wrote, or co-wrote it and it's one of my favorites. I wish she had continued to write. She had a talent for it. ✌

[@brucedillinger9448]

Nope. Apparently Linda's dad did not sing on Lo Siento Mi Vida.

[@djbird11]

Loved this. Wished you had listened to the entire album. It has special meaning for me.

[@bennysmith416]

You have still just scratched the surface fo this ladies awesome talent. Hope you check out her opera and American standard side. Enjoy the ride.

[@2kool4myskool]

Linda learnt to sing in Spanish as it was part of her heritage but obviously English was what she learnt to speak in everyday life. Conversational Spanish is what she would have trouble understanding but thumbs up for her even trying this, she is an amazing artist.

[@user-le5qb5fd2i]

Please review and respond to the many wonderful voices of Linda Ronstadt and in particular with her Big Band genre recording of "Whats New, " which was her 1983 project with the late vintage orchestra arranger, Nelson Riddle from the Swing Jazz and lovelorn ballads Era of the 1950's. Listeners should enjoy Linda's skillful, authentic, and beautiful interpretation of this great American classic with her big rich, muscular voice.

[@onofreandojera3052]

Me too. I’ve been a fan of Linda for a long time but I never knew that she has mexican blood. It’s nice to know the heritage if your idol

[@terryhefty]

You guys I went to one of her mariachi concerts and she spoke very fondly of growing up and in her family. They all spoke Spanish, so yes, she does know Spanish. She talked about the Mexican music in her house the smelling of Mexican food. While she was growing up, Spanish was spoken in her home, so yes, she does know Spanish.

[@JaemanEdwards]

Great voice she had.

[@agla6634]

Love the passion. she doesn't have an accent... she just enunciates her words singing. her singing really hits home!

[@DocRock71]

Her album Prisoner in Disguise is her best album for me, and it is a masterpiece which has many songs worthy of reaction. The title track has some of the most amazing harmonies with JD Souther that you will ever hear.

[@steveshute3810]

Another vote for the live versions! :) There are different ones on YT, but the best ones are the ones preceded by a brief on-screen display of one of the lyrics, like this one for "La Cigarra": kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4i5aKh9mc6Lns0

[@traypaquette7887]

A favorite album. 😊

[@lucio.martinez]

Other LATAM's say that we, Mexicans, sing our sorrows, our joys, and life and even death. The Dominicans have recently noted as, "El pueblo que canta sus penas y sus alegrias." It is our rural, de ranchos, our Mexican Country Music.

[@moonstone1159]

She's amazing! Linda really can project those notes! I also love the singer Jose jose, my all-time favorite crooner.

[@mgonzales56]

It's official...Lex is now my favorite reactor on you tube. I love Linda Ronstadt, and I am so glad you guys are featuring her music. To me, she will always be the greatest female singer. Linda, if you happen to be reading this, I love you, and all my prayers go out to you.

[@NicknLex]

That is so kind of you, what a compliment! 😊 And oh my, it would definitely be an honor if Linda would ever watch these!

[@mgonzales56]

@NicknLex It actually has happened to Rob Squad. They have actually been contacted by Tom Jones, and Yoko Ono, John Lennon's wife. So you never know. Good luck to you guys.

[@NicknLex]

@@mgonzales56 Yes we have been contacted Annie Haslim, Jean Luc Ponty, among others. Incredible!!

[@williamlucas4656]

Try this on for size: Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville singing "Goodbye My Friend". Linda grew up in Tucson and of course was very effective by both Mexican and American music. She started out singing country and what became country rock and then spread out from there. Although her father is Mexican American and her mother is German American c And she learned to sing her father's favorites songs in Spanish but never learned to speak the language conversationally. I imagine she probably can hold her own now, but then again speaking is very difficult due to her illness.

[@turnerdan53]

I heard it said that her father was a singer in a band and at home they sang in Spanish but spoke in English at home growing up.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

You guys should react to the live version. Her opera training comes to the fore even more.

[@Mannati]

If you like the album you MUST find a copy of her PBS special of the same name. She brings together all the musicians, dancers and costumes to perform live on stage and it was spectacular!! Do yourself a favor and watch it.

[@christinalira3778]

Live version is the best way to hear her

[@dansimmons1018]

You guys should get the video performance of this song. You would enjoy the dancing and performance.

[@markmurphy558]

To understand the depth and breadth of Linda's talent, listen to her sing Gilbert and Sullivan in The Pirates of Penzance, in which she performed live on Broadway for a run.

[@carloscarmona5438]

Ella le ganó un Grammy a Vicente Fernández con este disco!!! Creo que su abuela era de sonora México!!! Si ven todo ese concierto ahí ella explica todo sobre sus raíces mexicana!!!

[@Latnman101]

Linda is from my hometown of Tucson Arizona. She started singing in Spanish from the time she was just wee one listening to her father sing and at time accompanying him and her brothers.

[@karenj3611]

This is going to knock your socks off!!

[@gk5891]

She grew up singing in Spanish, but not a fluent speaker. Later in life (after this was recorded) she did become a fluent speaker.

[@garyr8739]

Some of her awards - especially the Latin awards. "Linda Maria Ronstadt (born July 15, 1946) is an American singer who performed and recorded in diverse genres including rock, country, light opera, the Great American Songbook, and Latin. She has earned 11 Grammy Awards,[2] three American Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music awards, an Emmy Award, and an ALMA Award. Many of her albums have been certified gold, platinum or multiplatinum in the United States and internationally. She has also earned nominations for a Tony Award and a Golden Globe award. She was awarded the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by the Latin Recording Academy in 2011 and also awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by the Recording Academy in 2016. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2014.[3] On July 28, 2014, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts and Humanities.[4][15] In 2019, she received a star jointly with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for their work as the group Trio.[16][17] Ronstadt was among five honorees who received the 2019 Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievements."

[@michaelstone5523]

Hey you two, it's impressive that you both speak multiple languages. I'm on my third attempt at Rosetta Stone Spanish. I refuse to tap out! I'm getting more from listening to you're Spanish reactions, plus I love the music! Mariachi makes me want to party....where's the Tequila. Awwwwyayayayaya!!!

[@NicknLex]

Have you tried Duolingo app? I used it for my German and it helps a lot! :)

[@hildamarmolejo1568]

This albums is the biggest selling non-English language album in American record history!

[@nancy9891]

Linda stated that she learned that Spanish was singing and English was for speaking. She grew up in Tuscon, Az and she said that speaking Spanish was frowned upon so they sang it. Her father is not alive and she dedicated this to her father.

[@terryhefty]

Linda’s Mexican and German too but she was raised in Arizona in a Mexican environment with the Mexican side of her family. She speaks about it growing up to Mexican music Mexican food smelling tortillas. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

[@davidsainoz1587]

Hello guys, I am from Mexico City and I can tell you that Linda just to have an accent. But I love this song and over all, the passion Linda showed in every song. I just love it.

[@NicknLex]

Verdad que si? Gracias por decirlo!! Es muuuuy buena su pronunciación pero si es notable del poco. 😊 Saludos y agradecemos el apoyo!! 🇲🇽 ❤️

[@eculindo]

I am native Spanish speaker, and I couldn’t hear an accent on her son. Her pronunciación is impecable! Having said that all of us have accents - Mexican, Argentinians or between regions if the same country. But what an artist.. and a truly enjoyable reaction from you guys!

[@charlesrubio7650]

wait till you hear her opera voice in Pirates of Penzance... check out "Pour Wandering Lot" its crazy amazing to hear her sing opera. I wished she would have done more opera than just in Pirates of Penzance. By far and not too many reactions to it yet, but my favorite in the country rock genre is "Down So Low" There's 2 versions on youtube Studio version with back up singers but if you do a reaction to this song I suggest the other one Its a live performance from her concert in Germany. Talking about the emotions she puts into this song... its breathtaking! You'll see if you do a reaction to it. you hear titles for various artist, , like the King, referring to Elvis Pressley, or Queen of Soul referring to Arthea Franklin Here's one for Linda... "Empress of Song"

[@fernandosoria6780]

Me gusto esta reaccion chicos ! Devo decir que les entendi la mitad de lo que dijeron peeo bueno algo es algo ! Me encanto Linda Ronstadt ! Ya conocia su lado Mexicano ! HABLA PERFECTO ESPAÑOL ! Los felicito por encontrar estas cositas y mostrarlas ! Un abrazo desde Argentina !!!!

[@kirkrelf1402]

I love Linda Ronstadt and Canciones de Mi Padre is my very favorite. If you want to dabble in other, esoteric, genres, she also sang light opera on Broadway in Pirates of Penzance. Quite remarkable her range.

[@lissalois1822]

Check out her cha cha cha’s. Frenesi is a great song and she sings it so well!

[@mauriciodelarosa2449]

♥️🇲🇽♥️🇲🇽♥️

[@jeffmorse645]

Linda is like so very many people from Texas to California (and beyond) - of both Anglo and Mexican heritage. I'm not, but I have seven or eight cousins who are (I've lost track - lol). That's what's so awesome about the border states. When she was healthy she literally could sing anything. Country, Rock, Traditional Mexican, Pop Standards - she's amazing. Breaks my heart what has happened to her health in her older years.
