Vicente Fernandez, Mexico's Idol


True to her nature of embracing the local music, Jessica fell in love with a song by the illustrious Vicente Fernandez called "Estos Cellos." While Vicente is technically Mexican, he is a popular choice for drinking music in these parts. After this, he will be in your neighborhood as well. I mean, come on; those eyes, that silver hair, the finely groomed mustache and eyebrows... that sumbraro... and matching outfit.

Here is a picture of the 3-disc set we bought for Jessie's birthday. It turns out that there is only really one good song in the entire collection. There is an interesting one about the death of a chicken farmer though (no, I am not kidding). Good thing the set only cost about $2.50


And finally, how could we leave you without the song that started the obsession. Enjoy.

He's like a mexican Neil Diamond. Also, it appears to be very windy wherever he filmed that video.
