This contains lively and romantic Mariachi songs sung with pride and passion, telling stories of love, won and lost, about patriotic pride, about various customs at festivals and about singing beneath the balcony of the beloved. Fer Gonzalez is a singer of Mexican boleros, rancheras, hupangos, and more. His dream has always been to take Mexican music all over the world. Through his voice, music, and songs, he takes a message of joy from Mexico to the world, and presents his culture, tradition, and roots proving that music is a universal language of humankind that can break down barriers always and anywhere. Fer was born in Aguascalientes, Mexico. He inherited his love of music from his parents, especially his mother who loved Mexican music and had an extraordinary voice. His career as a professional singer did not begin until his adult life, but took off right away with radio and television appearances, stellar reviews, and appearances at international festivals.

The Indians of Mexico were conquered by Spaniards in the 16th century and have now been living and mixing with these 'alien' people for over 400 years. Because they originally existed in very large numbers, they were not submerged and destroyed as were many of the Indian tribes of the United States, and Indian blood exists in large proportions in the present Mexican population. Indian culture, on the other hand, has largely disappeared... Henrietta Yurchenco. Album Tracks 1. Tzotzil - Fiesta Music 2. Tzotzil - Bolonchon 3. Tzotzil - Fiesta Song 4.
