I’ve read some comments from Spanish speaking viewers who said they could tell that she is not singing in her first language. Her father was Mexican and she grew up a few miles from the border, in Tuscon, Arizona. She is very passionate about her Mexican heritage which is evidenced by the joy on her face as she sings these beautiful songs. As a child, she thought people spoke in English and that Spanish was a magical musical language for singing. She’s an amazing human being and can no longer sing due to a neurological disorder. That is a terrible tragedy and loss for all of us. 🌺✌️

Su padre no era mexicano Nació en Tucson Arizona Su abuelo era alemán, emigró a Sonora Se casó con una mexicana de Sonora,el matrimonio emigró a EEUU ,Tucson Arizona y adquirieron la nacionalidad Y allí nació el papa de Linda que se casó con una estadounidense, de Michigan de origen inglés/holandés Llnda nació en Tucson también No sabe absolutamente nada de español Pero nada de nada A su papá le gustaba tanto la canción mexicana que era lo que se ecuchaba en *casa* así que Linda creció con esa música, por eso tituló su primer álbum de rancheras "Canciones de mi padre ".. No olvidemos que en Tucson hay una gran comunidad de descendientes mexicanos y la radio que se escuchaba era la radio mexicana ,Tucson Arizona esta cerca de la frontera con México, de echo Arizona perteneció a México Asi que pretender que eso no haya influenciado en la cultura que se respira allí seria de tontos Ella dice en una entrevista que le hicieron en la tv mexicana (donde también menciona a su abuelo alemán) ,que su referente musical ,fue la gran cantante mexicana Lola Beltrán, la entrevista la hace en inglés, que es su idioma de nacimiento, por que como dije no sabe hablar ni una palabra en español Lo único que *hablaba* por así decir eran las letra de las canciones Así que a parte de esa prodigiosa voz ,(que no lo es todo para poder cantar bien este género) tiene el *sentimiento* ,la garra , la emoción y la *dificultad* de no cantar en su idioma,los que hablamos español no notamos ningu acento ,ella pronuncia perfecto Eso también ha contribuido a que muchos crean que habla español ,o que su papa era de México Ni lo uno ni lo otro Aunque a los que la conocíamo dede antes de las rancheras y que también somos amantes de la canción mexicana, nos sorprendió muy gratamente.... Es una gozada escucharla *por un amor* *la Cigarra* *Hay uno ojos* *Y andale*... No olviden su álbum de boleros Y como olvidar sus comienzos con el countrhry/rock ,pop/rock ,teniendo un enorme éxito en los 70 en su país EEUU, tiene 29 LP's de estudio ,y 63 singles en directo,(la apodaban la reina del rock) Tres de los músicos de la banda de la que ella fue vocalista,se fueron y crearon el maravilloso grupo de *The Eagles* ,ahí es nada, ensayaban en la casa de Linda Si hasta hizo una incursión en el cine con un musical casi operistico que no tuvo gran éxito No le hizo falta,ella es tan versátil Maravillosa

Her paternal Grandfather immigrated from Northern Mexico in 1946 to the Sonoran area of Arizona. They were a ranching family. Linda got a lot of questions because his name (Ronstadt) was not one most Americans associate with Mexican ancestry. That's why the German descent became so prevalent in descriptions of her ancestry.

I am a native Spanish speaker and I certify that Linda's Spanish is perfiect

Linda´s father was Mexican. Shew grew up listening Mexican music and she loved it. Actually, the album from where this song is taken is entitled "Canciones de mi Padre" (Songs of my father). This album was both a way to honor his father´s memory but also she has said she really wanted to sing these songs cause she loved them.

Linda Ronstadt can sing anything. Folk. Pop. Rock. Blues. Big Band from the 1940's, and she appeared on Broadway singing light opera.

I speak spanish and Linda sing without accent she is amazing one of the best singer in the world!!

She is one of our greatest female sings of all time! Her catalogue is vast and eclectic! The Eagles were her back up band, before they went on their own! Great love between them and, Linda. 😎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Every young man back in the 70’s had a crush on her, me also!

She is one of the most important singers in history. Period. So proud of her because she is biracial, beautiful woman, smart, fine human, and what a voice!!! She is a huge part of the American fabric by being a trailblazer in American Rock. As she got older, she also realized how important her Mexican heritage was and was an embassador for Folkloric Mexican music. Her album “Canciones de mi Padre” are an homage to that! So proud! You should also react to her songs in English. Just as wonderful and great! “You’re no Good” “Blue Bayou” Just to start. Once you go down this path with Linda Rondstadt you will be there for a while. And because you guys are so appreciative of different cultures, you will see just how enormous her legacy is. I love your reactions and I am so proud of Linda. I am a proud Mexican and a Proud American.

She is of Mexican descent from her father's side. She grew up speaking English but singing in Spanish.

Even though there are certain moments where Linda Ronstadt has a slight American accent while she is singing Spanish, but for the most part, she really hits her notes in Spanish correctly I would say 95% of the time! Even though she is not a native Spanish speaker, the way she can hold her notes, even at times using a falsetto is stunning! Beautiful lady 🌸

Linda’s breath controls blows me away!

I am a Mexican American and La Charreada basically means The Rodeo and the ongoings of a bullrider on a horse during a chase to capture the bull with his lasso in the bull ring. Linda is Mexican American and she speaks perfect Spanish and English and very fluent in both as her roots and heritage are from Mexico too. She is one of our wonderful Mexican American Icons and loved through out the United States. Mariachi definitely and absolutely brings out the soul of the music and fully encompasses the listeners heart. If I can suggest an other wonderful artist who uses his personal Mariachi band (and they are super) is Luis Miguel and the song is "La Bikina", you'll absolutely love it and him too. Enjoy. Love your reactions.

She has a perfect mexican accent!!!! And like they say in mexico ' A MEXICAN IS BORN WHERE EVER THE HELL THEY WANT!!!!!! Thank you for the reaction keep up the excellent reaction. God bless!

Linda is half Mexican and half German. She did not speak Spanish growing up. She learned to sing these songs by studying the meaning and taking lessons in Spanish and she is such a perfectionist that she didn't record until her pronunciation was perfect. She did a second album of these songs and then another album, "Frenesy" which has some more Cuban rhythms.

She did two Spanish albums and they went platinum very quickly. She also did an album with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra and sang torch songs from the 1940’s and 50s. My favorite is “What’s New?” A masterpiece of beauty. She could sing anything.

Most people think of Linda Ronstadt as a singer of the 70s. However, two of her biggest selling studio albums were from the 80s...."What's New" and "Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind". Both of those albums are currently certified at triple platinum in sales. Her former manager and producer, Peter Asher, said that Linda's record sales have not been audited in the last 20 years, and her record sales is actually much higher. Linda's first Spanish language album, "Canciones de mi padre", is still the biggest selling Spanish language album in the US.

Linda actually did three albums of Jazz ballads, all with Nelson Riddle conducting the orchestra.

History's Greatest Singing Voice!!!

She is a proud Latina. To this day, she has the largest selling non English album in US history, which is pretty amazing considering the US has one of the world’s largest Spanish speaking populations, and where entire genres of music like salsa originated and home to so many Spanish language musical artists known worldwide. Her aunt was a very successful singer in Mexico and her father was a singer too (though not professionally). There is no one in American music history who has been successful in so many different musical genres than Linda.

She doesn't speak Spanish but she learnt the songs phonetically. She's American who grew up in the Mexican American border of Arizona. Her father was Mexican with some German heritage hence her last name. Her mother American. She said that she grew up listening to Mexican radio and thought that Spanish was a singing language and English was for speaking. She wanted to honor the songs she liked growing up so she did a couple of records to honor her father. This is one of the most popular mariachi records and dinner Mexicans didn't even know Linda didn't speak Spanish. She nailed the style perfectly. Another non Mexican to triumph in mariachi was Rocío Durcal from Spain. I hope you can react to her since she was Juan Gabriel's favorite singer.

She did not learn the songs phonetically. She studied hard to perfect her Spanish.

Something that many folks forget - or are unaware of... is the southwestern US was originally settled by Spain, and then was part of Mexico before becoming part of the US... so there is some shared heritage there. As others have said, Linda grew up in Tucson, Arizona and does have a mixed heritage. Her sensitivity to the music comes through very clearly in her artistry.

I want to listen to this every morning. I wore out this album on cassette and cd by listening to her on job sites for years. She is truly, astoundingly talented. Howdy from Texas!

Watching and listening to Linda and all the mariachi is more fun than an actual rodeo (charreada). This is my favorite Spanish song/performance of hers. The most "impressive" part is the way she hits that single note spot on, then holds it perfectly steady for incredibly long before abruptly cutting it. She doesn't merely "come close" to the note and then correct it, but hits it precisely. I think it's much harder to hold that note steady than move to another note, because if there were any variation in the note, we would hear the imperfection. The prettiest sounding and most fun to watch are the parts where she has a lot of inflections in voice and is animated with gestures.

The woman reactor in this has such a beautiful smile the entire time Linda is singing. 😊

Believe me: It is imposible to detect that Linda is not mexican not just because of the perfect accent but because of the way she understood the mexican style to perform this kind of music. Charreada is something like American Rodeo. I'm mexican, by the way.

Of course, if his father was Mexican, that is why the name of his album songs of my father canciones de mi padre please inform yourself before giving an opinion

Her Spanish (singing) is flawless! She is perfect in her Diction. Linda born in Tucson, Arizona. Her father is Mexican and Linda said “ In our house, English was language we spoke, but Spanish is the language we sang. Her Father and her Uncles would have a BBQ on the weekends and they would break out their guitars and start singing in Spanish. That’s why this album & concert is called “Canciones de Mi Padre” (songs of my father). She does Not speak Spanish, but you couldn’t tell by her Dead On pronunciation. Linda has 11 Grammy’s in several Genre’s. Rock, Spanish, Country and even Opera. There is nothing she can’t sing, which is sad because she came down with a form of Parkinson’s (2008) and can no longer sing. She has lost control of her (throat) muscles….. SanJoséBob

Late last year Linda wrote a book "Feels Like Home" all about her family's heritage and the Sonoran region she grew up in, its well worth reading.

Linda Ronstadt understands Spanish and she speaks a little but when she sings, she sings an a perfect Mexican mariachi vocals. It’s perfect if somebody’s telling you, they hear an accent they don’t know what they’re talking about. Her great great great grandfather who is German who moved to Sonora Mexico the family was split up because the border moved, and the United States took over that part of Mexico. So she was raise singing Spanish, but not speaking it, because in Arizona in those times you would get beat by your teachers if you spoke Spanish.

Thank you very much for this reaction! I think her mexican accent is 99% perfect.

A charreada is a Mexican "Rodeo" where the charros (Mexican riders, like cowboys) tame horses, ride bulls and do a number of amazing stunts. The charreada is the national sport of Mexico. Those nice costumes the mariachi are wearing, actually are the outfit of Charros, of course ther is some "gala" Charro costume all adorned in silver, and there is a "Brega" (or hard work) charro costume that is far more utilitarian, and yet just as beautiful. Greetings from an old Charro in the state of Mexico.

She is known to be a perfectionist. She does not speak Spanish. Her father is half Mexican. She has said that when she was growing up, her family would speak in English but sing in Spanish. My impression is that she is most culturally Mexican American.

Even in the 70's everyone knew Linda Ronstadt was Mexican American. She never ran away from her Mexican roots. Moreover, she always embraced her Mexicaness.

Ella no habla español de manera fluida. La madre de su abuelo, es decir su bisabuela, era de origen mexicano. Sin embargo, al nacer y crecer en Arizona, y luego en California, el idioma español y la música mexicana, siempre estuvieron muy cercanas a ella. En USA viven casi 40 millones de personas de origen mexicano. Ella grabó tres discos LP en español, dos de música ranchera y uno de boleros y música romántica. Los tres con una excelente calidad de voz y de producción. Actualmente ella por el Parkinson ya no puede cantar.. Ella aprendió a cantar como lo indica la Escuela Mexicana de Bel Canto.

Hello guys, I like your videos because your reactions are very spontaneous and natural, the natural translation into the word "charreada" would be something like "the rodeo", without horseback riding practices that originated in the Maxican countryside to herd cattle. , but as they are practiced by the charros (from whom the mariachis took their clothing), that is why they are called "charreadas." Greetings and a hug from Guadalajara, Mexico.

Hello! I explain, "Charreada" is. the equivalent in Mexico of the "Rodeo" in the United States. I really like your videos, thanks for sharing. Greetings from Guadalajara, Mexico.

La charreada refers to the party or festival the charros (mexican cowboys) make to celebrate a festivity, it is similar to the american rodeo, where the charros ride horses, bulls and make different activities in the ruedo or ring..

Linda's Dad was Mexican and she sang these songs growing up. It really didn't become apparent that she was part Mexican until these records came out. She is amazing WHATEVER she sings. Listen to Her version of "Poor Wondering One" from the Pirates of Penzance and be even more amazed. I saw her lave more than a dozen times. I got to meet her a couple time as well.

We grew up with her singing Blue Bayou, You’re No Good, Desperado……… then she came out with this album and like me, I’m sure MOST of our mouths DROPPED. We had no idea she could ing in Spanish, and she couldn’t UNTIL she did this album. Linda probably was the first to cross all genres at that time. She is a very PROUD Mexican/Chicana. She is from Arizona, which was part of Mexico before Americans STOLE it. Ronstadt comes from her Grandfather, I believe he was part German or full. 💚

Linda's father was of Mexican descent; also some German. She grew up in Arizona and was fluent in English and Spanish.

She definitely know how to roll her R’s

She definitely has no singing accent, but when she speaks it... yes. All these songs are classics of Mexican music and she recorded them on an album titled "My father's songs" or semething like that, the same that deserved a Grammy award. In an interview, Lynda says that are songs that she listened to since she was a child, reason for wich she has fully mastered the phrasing and technique of the Mexican music. Perhaps the greatest success of her career was the song "Blue Bayou", a theme that surely you have also heard because it was a worldwide succes. Greetings!

I've always loved her. She is truly gifted and I'm we have her recordings to remember that.

Linda Ronstadt shared her family history in her book “Feels Like Home”. I love that she shared her Mexican heritage complete with photos of her family and their hometown of Banamichi, Sonora, Mexico. I also spent my childhood in the Sonoran Borderlands and her book is like walk walk through our diverse culture here. Many of my old friends were children of ranchers that have family on both sides of the border. She has really done a lot to bring an appreciation to the Sonoran Borderlands.

she is so powerful

La Charreada is a regular thing in the US. There are regular events. So the English translation of La Charreada is "La Charreada".

yes. you can tell the difference, you can tell that Spanish is not her first language. but it's not bad at all. She is Mexican/American. She was born and raised in Arizona, a lot of Mexicans live in Arizona.

LINDA RONSTADT ... BEAUTIFUL VOICE " RANCHERA " MEXICANA ... NOW IS MEXICANA-AMERICANA/GERMAN TOO ... WE LIVE IN SAME CONTINENT .. WE LOVE USA , AND GERMAN TOO

She's mixed with Mexican and German from her father's side of the family, and she was born in Arizona (Southwest America). She could speak Spanish, but she does have a slight accent.

Thanks for your reactions! I grew up being around the Ronstadt family as my mother worked for Linda's father at the Ronstadt Hardware store in Tucson Arizona USA. Many fond memories

Disagree with previous comment. Spanish is my second language. I read write & fluent speaking. Her Spanish is impeccable. Linda is Mexican American raised in Arizona,USA. She made an album in Spanish dedicated to her father. Album: Canciones de mi padre Translation:Songs of my father. Her father is German hence Ronstadt but raised in Mexican culture of Arizona.

La chareada refers to a fiesta or celebration of Mexican cowboys - charros - & the Mexican rodeo - cherreria.

In regard with The comparison with the romanian dances in a certain degree with the mexican dances, I just have to tell my friend merchandofalba that the mariachi music is an adaptation of the european music and european dances in Mexico and in the other hand remember that the mariachi are musicians and the charros are the charro cowboys and in the video the dancers are representing charros with elegant costumes.

She is very much Mexican-American Latina. She grew up outside of Tucson AZ on her grandfather's hacienda. Her father was German-Mexican her mother was from Detroit, MI. Growing up they sang in Spanish but the public school in the 50-60s English was spoken at school and if the kids spoke Spanish they would be punished. When Linda set out to do Spanish-language albums she had to learned the songs phonetically and re-learn the Spanish she knew as a child.

Her breath control is phenomenal !

"México, te atrapa con su música ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬", y no te querrás escapar 🌽🌶🥑🌵

Linda grew up in a Mexican American house hold. Her father was Mexican and Spanish was often spoken in the house. She made this album to show her father that she had not forgotten her heritage and to pay tribute to him m

No accent at all….authentic as helllllll…..it’s amazing

Linda is of Mexican decent. He father is Mexican. Actually, this concert is called " música de mi Padre" (my father's music). It's a tribute to her father and her Mexican roots. She sings fluently.

Linda is Mexican and yes she speaks Spanish an American person could never sings these type of Mexican songs if they didn't have the accent to do it. I as a Mexican can detect a slight accent very slight.she sings beautiful. You must react to her song Blue Bayou.

She's from Tucson Arizona. Mexican and German.

So beautiful

Is impossible to tell !! She has no accent is perfect !! And im Mexican

Spanish is not her first language. Her grandfather immigrated to Arizona from Germany hence “Ronstadt” a German name. She grew up in the Mexican culture on a rural ranch close to the border of Mexico. This is the culture of the Vaquero (Cowboy) and Rodeo.

This album is the best selling American non-English speaking record of all time! Linda has 11 Grammys in addition to more than a few other accolades including induction into the National Rock & Roll Hall Of fame.

You feel a little bid accent her father loved this music and she lived next in mexico

There is a documentary called The Sound of my Voice. It's about the life and career of Linda traced from her childhood in Tucson AZ through her decades long career and to her retirement in 2011 due to to Parkinson's disease.

Her father was of Mexican descent ... so there is a great connection with Mexico!! When she slows down you can notice some wordings in Spanish with a bit of an accent, however, very small.

Mexican music is about storytelling of your feelings either about melancholy or happiness. To tell a story through singing is more important than showing off vocals, yet, mariachi in particular had a classical singing core, therefore, you must hit she pipes anyways.

HER DAD WAS MEXICAN AND SHE LEARNED SPANISH SINCE SHE WAS A BORN

"la charreada" means literally what in the US would be "the rodeo", Charro stuff as in cowboy stuff.. she is mixed in the sense that this album ("Songs from my father") were songs his father and grandfather heard or sang to her when she was little..

As I understand Linda can speak a little Spanish, just not fluently. In her other songs and interviews there is no hint, not a clue that she is of Mexican decent, AT ALL!! Just a super sweet person!

Linda's grand mother was Mexican!!

Love you guys, I think that’s you have to react to her music in English she it’s of Mexican dissent on her father side!

Her Spanish is almost perfect!

Her Accent is Totally Mexican and Even the Form of Singing "It is the Correct Form of Mexican Ranchera Music." Since there are many well-pronounced words that exist in no Spanish-speaking country. Like Jaripeo, Charreada (not Rodeo).

Mexican law states that if one of your parents is a Mexican citizen, you are also a citizen of México, no matter where you are born.

The English translation tor the title is "Cicada" (an insect)

The charreada is a festive event that is similar to an American rodeo in its variety of competitive equestrian activities.

Tiny woman with HUGE VOICE!!!

When she sings there is not accent from the USA, her spanish accent in the song (At least) is perfect, I don't know if she speaks spanish but I think her grand father lor father lived in Sonora Mexico and finally the woman has no a mexican blood drop in her veins.
