Dear E, Lovely one! Can we conspire to set up a bootleg Song of the Day till Gabe comes back? Or even after he does so? Liked this Mexican/Espanol touch... Invariably, whenever I tune in to Gabe's choice too, I end up trying to find out more about the singer/group:
*Vicente Fernández Gómez* (born February 17, 1940) is a Mexican<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_people>singer, producer and actor. Known as *Chente* or *El rey de la canción ranchera* (The king of ranchera music) throughout the Latin world, Vicente Fernández, who started his career singing for tips on the street, has become a cultural icon, recording more than 50 albums and contributing to many movies. He is the father of the popular singerAlejandro Fernández<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alejandro_Fern%C3%A1ndez> and Vicente Fernandez Jr. Vicente Fernandez has won seven Latin Grammy Awards<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Grammy_Awards> and one Grammy award <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_award> Although less well known to English-speaking audiences, he has consistently filled stadiums and venues throughout his 35-plus years of performing. His repertoire consists of rancheras, and other Mexican classics. He is accompanied live by a mariachi group, but he is not technically a mariachi musician, as he plays no instrument live. He has sold over 65 million copies worldwide.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Fern%C3%A1ndez#cite_note-1> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Fern%C3%A1ndez ENDQUOTE For those interested in linking up with music and musicians from Goa, try http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goamusician (discussion group).
