José Alfredo Jiménez
Born	(1926-01-09)January 9, 1926 Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, Mexico
Died	November 23, 1973(1973-11-23) (aged 47) Mexico City, Mexico
Genres	Ranchera, Mariachi
Occupations	Singer-songwriter

José Alfredo Jiménez (January 19, 1926 in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato – November 23, 1973 in Mexico City, Mexico) was a Mexican singer-songwriter in the ranchera style whose songs are considered an integral part of Mexico's musical heritage.

Jiménez had no musical training according to singer Miguel Aceves Mejía. He also did not play an instrument and did not even know the Spanish terms for "waltz" and "key". Nonetheless, he composed more than 1000 songs. Among the most famous are "Ella", "Paloma Querida", "Tu Y La Mentira", "Media Vuelta", "El Rey", "Sin Sangre En Las Venas", "El Jinete", "Si Nos Dejan", "Amanecí En Tus Brazos", "Llegando A Ti", "Tu Recuerdo Y Yo", El Hijo Del Pueblo", "Cuando El Destino", "El Caballo Blanco", "Llegó Borracho El Borracho" and "Que Te Vaya Bonito", as well as "Caminos De Guanajuato", where he sang about his home state of Guanajuato.

José Alfredo Jiménez' tomb in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, attracts visitors from around the world.

In addition to his own recordings, many of his songs have been recorded by renowned artists from around the Spanish-speaking world, most notably by the following artists: Antonio Aguilar, Lola Beltrán, Vikki Carr, Gualberto Castro, Rocío Dúrcal, Alejandro Fernández, Pedro Fernández, Vicente Fernández, Los Relámpagos Del Norte con Cornelio Reyna y Ramón Ayala, Los Tigres del Norte, Manolo García, Little Joe Hernández & The Latinaires, Julio Iglesias, Pedro Infante, the Mexican rock group Maná, Miguel Aceves Mejía, Luis Miguel, Jorge Negrete, Sunny Ozuna & The Sunliners, María Dolores Pradera, Javier Solís, and Chavela Vargas. In addition, Joaquín Sabina paid homage to Jiménez with his song, "Por El Bulevar De Los Sueños Rotos" ("On the Boulevard Of Broken Dreams").

Like many of his contemporaries such as Jorge Negrete, Pedro Infante, and Javier Solís (the so-called "Three Mexican Roosters" or "Los Tres Gallos Mexicanos"), Jiménez died young. He was only forty-seven years old when he succumbed to complications resulting from hepatitis.

One of his last appearances on Mexican television occurred in 1973, just months prior to his death, where he introduced his last song, Gracias, accompanied by his wife, singer Alicia Juarez. It was his way of thanking the public for all of the affection they had shown him throughout his career as one of the most prolific and highly regarded composers and singers Mexico has ever produced.

Lucha Villa (Born 30 November c. 1936, Ciudad Camargo, Chihuahua, Mexico^[1]) is a singer in the ranchera style, and a film actress.

Born Luz Elena Ruíz Bejarano, Villa was given her stage name by television producer Luis G Dillon^[2] (Lucha is a common nickname for Luz Elena, and Villa in honor of Pancho Villa). She has been a constant presence in popular music and film since the 1950s. Her early hits included the José Alfredo Jiménez composition, "Media Vuelta", as well as "La Cruz del Cielo" and "Viva Quien Quiere Saber"^[1] She appeared in several films during the 1950s and early 1960s, received her first starring role in El Gallo de Oro (1965),^[3] and starred in Me Cansé de Rogarle, a musical with Jiménez and recording star Marco Antonio Muñiz. She has appeared in some fifty films and won an Ariel Award for Best Actress (the Mexican equivalent of the Oscar) for Mechanica Nacional (1973).^[2]

In 1996, she, along with Lola Beltrán and Amalia Mendoza, was the subject of a tribute cd titled, Disco del Siglo: Las Tres Señoras by Juan Gabriel,^[1] acknowledging their lasting contributions to music lovers throughout Mexico and Latin America. She fell into a coma because of complications during surgery in August, 1997, but recovered after a long stay in hospital^[4] and has appeared in concert and on television sporadically since then.

Musical career [link]

Childhood and early interest in music [link]

Tania Libertad performs at the Nacional Fair at Durango on July 26, 2008.

Libertad was born in the small town of Zaña on the coast of Northern Peru and raised in Chiclayo.^[3]^[6] Her father was Portuguese and worked as a policeman. She remembered her father as having very strong views on the roles of men and women in society.^[7]In Spanish: "Mi padre era un señor muy machista y bajo esa misma cultura nacieron y crecieron mis hermanos, así que siempre me decían 'tú eres la mujer y tú tienes que limpiar la casa'. Me hacían sufrir bastante."^[7] Her mother was of indigenous descent and was a nurse. Libertad was the only girl in a family of seven brothers. "It was a very controlled environment, a very machismo environment. I had one brother for each day of the week, plus a mother and father," says Libertad. "Even though I've tried to see it in a benevolent way, looking back, it's hard. It was in a small town where male society was very rigid."^[8]

Libertad first sang at the age of five in Chiclayo. "I started to sing to at the age of five, performing songs in the vals (Peruvian waltz) style and boleros - Latin ballads - both accompanied by the cajón," says Libertad.^[3] "My family didn't know I was singing. My father was in the military, my mother worked from seven in the morning till nine at night," says Libertad. "My eight older brothers took care of me—you can just imagine how that was."^[9] "Think of this, there I was, a little Peruvian girl in black patent leather shoes, singing an old Mexican song, "La Historia de un Amor" What in the world did I know about the story of love? But that's what I sang, my very first time on stage. I was five years old."^[9]

Libertad's father had her sing songs he had written to the women he loved - his mistresses, not his wife. "They were really terrible because they were all dedicated to women, other than my mother, and I had to sing them," says Libertad. "Singing my father's really terrible songs definitely made me aware of what was good music and what was bad music. And his songs were really bad!"^[8] But Libertad also listened to music on the radio copying the lyrics and by the age of eight, Libertad had a repertoire of 300 boleros. "There were two important kinds of music to me, bolero and rock because they’ll both be with us forever,” says Libertad, "The bolero is an excellent genre to express all bad and good situations of love. Even when I was eight I would sing dramatic stories, a funny thing in a child, but I was always interested to sow deep emotions. By the time I was seven, I was singing in contests. And by the time I was nine, I was making records in Peru."^[9]

Early career in Lima, Peru [link]

Libertad moved to Lima, the capital of Peru as a teenager.^[3] Libertad's father became her manager and she began singing in nightclubs. Soon Libertad had a contract with RCA Victor and her first national hit in Peru, La Contamanina.^[3]^[10] After ten successful recordings, Libertad's father decided he wanted her to end her career and didn't want her to study after high school. While Libertad pursued her musical career she convinced her father to let her study engineering in the university: "I wanted to go to the university. The only way he let me enroll was if I promised to study what my brother studied. I studied the science and engineering of fisheries."^[9] Although Libertad has not used her engineering education in later life she is glad she studied. "At least it got me into the university, where I could meet people who were more involved in the arts and in politics—my thinking was very far to the left, very much in tune with resistance to war, very much looking for a way to find peace."^[9]

Libertad began to cultivate friendships with performers who were involved with Afro-Peruvian music that she had learned to love living in the North part of Peru where the music was prevalent. "At that time, the nationalistic government encouraged the growth of Peruvian culture, and even established an Afro-Peruvian Ballet company," says Libertad.^[3] But Libertad became uncomfortable singing in nightclubs because of the sexism and racism she encountered there and began singing music with a social conscience. She moved to singing in universities and union halls.^[3]

Libertad's conflicts with her father continued. She says "De niña andaba como pajarito libre por mi barrio y fue a partir de mi adolescencia que empezó el cuidado en extremo. Cuando mi padre se da cuenta de mi paso a la adolescencia, es cuando me empieza a encerrar y a no dejarme salir, fue muy difícil, incluso cuando llegué aquí a México fue cuando hice muchas cosas que de joven mi papá no me dejo hacer, entonces andaba en el reventón total."^[7] "When I was 20, I actually ran away from home, because my father's thinking was completely different from mine. I needed to be taken seriously as a person and as a woman, and my father no longer wanted me to pursue my career as an artist, a singer. So I hid for two weeks with friends until my father accepted me as an adult with the rights of an adult."^[9]

In 1976 Libertad began to travel abroad. Thinking back on it, she says, "And then I started to travel and sing in other countries. I went to Cuba in 1976 and was so intrigued with the music there. I began to understand the new music that had so much to say politically. The songs can be heard on different levels: as love songs, as love songs to a country, as songs of resistance and peace."^[9] However her move away from the traditional music did not bring her success she hoped for and she decided to leave Peru. "Leaving Peru was the most important decision I ever made. Because there came a time in my career when I was singing what everybody else wanted me to sing. What my father wanted, what my mother wanted, what they wanted on TV, what my country wanted. And I was feeling really miserable. I needed to be the master of my own decisions, of my own mistakes, of my own accomplishments. I needed to sing what I wanted to sing."^[1]

Move to Mexico [link]

Tania Libertad appears with the Los Tigres del Norte on May 17, 2007.

In 1978 Libertad arrived in Mexico penniless. "Mexico was a haven for other Latin American artists who had been exiled from their countries for political reasons," Libertad says.^[8] Her friend Carmen Salinas helped her get her first job at the Blanquita Theatre in Mexico City. "For six years I sang in schools, jails and hospitals, a circuit that was nonexistent in Peru."^[8] Libertad won a contract with Polygram singing trova, black Peruvian music, salsa and bolero.^[3] In 1985 Libertad released her first album of boleros.^[10] "In 1977 I came to Mexico. Here in Mexico, I fell in love—with the country, with the audiences that gave me such an enormously warm welcome, and with the music. I've recorded many CDs of boleros [Mexican romantic standards] and they've all been very well received. I've had the opportunity to sing and record with so many extraordinary Mexican singers: Vicente Fernández, Armando Manzanero, and Marco Antonio Muñiz, to name just a few."^[9]

After 30 years in Mexico, Libertad considers herself a citizen of Mexico. "And now I am a Mexican. A Peruvian still, but a few years ago I also became a Mexican citizen. I love this country, I love this city. This is where my whole life is, this is where I live and work."^[9] Libertad sometimes feels regret over leaving Peru for Mexico. "In Mexico I had many more possibilities. I've already lived here for more than twenty years now. It is difficult, and it makes me sad sometimes, not to be in Peru. But when I do concerts over there, I always receive a warm welcome. They are proud of me."^[11]

International career [link]

Libertad has a significant international career. She has performed in France, Italy, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, England, Morocco, Angola, Senegal, the United States, Peru, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Uruguay, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, El Salvador, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. "I've sung on every continent. I've sung with so many incredible singers from every country: Cesarea Evora, Plácido Domingo, Mercedes Sosa, Kiri Te Kanawa, Miguel Bosé, and others, so many others."^[9]

Libertad considers herself a citizen of the world. She is profoundly Latin American but believes in the ideals of Bolivar, that frontiers should not exist for Latin America. "Me han dicho que soy una ciudadana del mundo. Yo pienso que soy profundamente latinoamericana y creo en el gran sueño de Bolívar: que las fronteras no existan y que por lo menos todos los que hablamos español sintamos de la misma manera y que defendamos las mismas causas," says Libertad. Compartimos las grandes raíces indígena, africana y española. Esa fusión hace que nuestra música sea única, que sea inolvidable, que se enlace en un mestizaje correcto. Esa misma mezcla de culturas nos ha dado el color de la piel, el idioma, el lenguaje de la música y una maravillosa forma de sentir y expresarnos. Somos muy afortunados y debemos sentirnos orgullosos de nuestras raíces."^[12]

Independent artist [link]

Libertad is an independent artist and is not backed by a big record label. "Nor am I greatly backed by the media, and I never have been. This is just the way I chose it. No Ry Cooder or David Byrne has come along to aid me. But I like it this way. I chose to be an independent artist. Having the backing of the media results in certain compromises I'm not willing to make."^[8]

African influence [link]

Although Libertad is not black she feels a great affinity for the African music that she grew up with on the Northern coast of Peru in an area populated primarily by descendants of African slaves. "I was born on the north coast, where the descendents of African slaves lived, and the music I heard there, the music I grew up with, got into my bones. It's the music that still fascinates me more than any other."^[9] Libertad says that there is a special bond that unites her to culture that created the Afro-Peruvian music. "There are only about 15,000 Afro-Peruvian families in the country, but their cultural influence is very strong. Not only the music of these coastal people is special; many of their customs are also distinct. For many years, the music was performed mostly out of sight, behind closed doors in close-knit Afro-Peruvian communities. Peruvian high society considered the music profane. But then, about 70 years ago, the rhythms began to emerge, style by style, and eventually grew into the popular form it is today. Now it is widely embraced as a music that's emblematic of the best of Peruvian culture."^[3] Libertad considers Afro-Peruvian music to be a separate art form unique to Peru. "Afro-Peruvian music is more sensual than the African-derived music of other countries," Libertad says. Rhythms like lando' create a very special air - a unique quality - that doesn't exist in the Black styles of Colombia, Central America, Puerto Rico or Cuba."^[3]

[edit] Costa Negra

In 2000 Libertad met producer José da Silva in Mexico City at one of Cesaria Evora's concerts and told him about her ambition to record an album of Afro-Peruvian music. In 2003 Libertad realized her dream of recording an album of Afro-Peruvian music with musicians from Africa. Libertad recorded in Paris on the Lusafrica label with musicians from Senegal, Cameroon and Madagascar. She says the African musicians were delighted to record the African music that had evolved in the Americas among the offspring of slaves and were fascinated by the different rhythms and syncopation in the Afro-Peruvian music. "They were so excited that when the sessions were over they hugged us with joy. They picked me up off the floor, along with my Peruvian percussionists, and carried us in circles around the studio. My CD Costa Negra is really homage to that music, and my latest CD, Negro Color, carries the theme onward. I could compare what happened with black music after 500 years with my Peruvian roots. And when I showed songs to African musicians from Cameroon, Senegal, Madagascar, Cape Verde and Paris, all of them felt the Peruvian rhythms in a very natural way. It was an easy connection for me."^[3]

[edit] Color Negro

In 2004 Libertad released Color Negro, another Afro-Peruvian recording. "Negro Color is my latest experiment. Costa Negra saw the return of an acoustic style. But I don't like to record an album that sounds like something else I've done. All of my albums are different. In Negro Color, we didn't use any samples or synthesizers. But as all the world sings boleros, so I decided to do boleros, but with other rhythms, not the standard form. For instance, on the Armando Manzanero song 'Por debajo de la mesa', we used the lando rhythm. It's a beautiful song, and it gains a lot by being performed to the lando style."^[3]

Social conscience [link]

Since the beginning of Libertad's career, many of her songs have a social message. "I began to understand the new music that had so much to say politically. The songs can be heard on different levels: as love songs, as love songs to a country, as songs of resistance and peace. These are what we call canciones camufladas—camouflaged songs. Since I was an adolescent, it's been important to me to take a stand for what I believe, to show my ideas. In Perú, so many were extremists. And I stood up for peace, for an end to war, for people's right to live freely."^[9] However, Libertad doesn't want to be considered a protest singer or to have any labels put on her singing. "Nunca he dejado que me etiqueten en un tipo de música. Me consideraron folclórica, de nueva canción o de protesta, pero no lo soy. Cuando veía que ya me estaban colgando la etiqueta de algo salía con un disco de otra cosa, ¡y luego con uno de boleros, o con uno de José Alfredo Jiménez!, ¡después con uno de Aleks Sintek! Peleé mucho por mi libertad como para caer en eso," says Libertad.^[13]

Personal life [link]

Libertad is married and has a son. Libertad's husband is a businessman and they live in Mexico City.^[8]

Libertad says she doesn't want to be a big star. "Pop fans are fickle. They embrace one artist one day, and the next they're embracing somebody else. I don't want to capture that kind of public. I want to find an audience that will never leave me."^[1]
