As one of Mexico's most striking voices of ranchera music, the late Lola Beltrán's haunting vibrato and silvery falsetto bewitched beyond her native Mexico—her elusive vocal delivery took her to perform in front of Spanish royalty and U.S. presidents. Throughout her influential 40-year career, the Queen of Rancheras built a rep for pairing her golden pipes with the vibrancy of mariachi horns and bolero's enchanting acoustics. Whether belting out huapangos, rancheras, or sones, Beltrán's classic renditions and glorious performances were always filled with gut-wrenching emotion.
