Canciones de Mi Padre is Linda Ronstadt’s first album of Mexican traditional songs—a sentimental collection, with songs from her childhood and her heritage, all affectionate, charming, and entertaining.  

Canciones de Mi Padre immediately became a global smash hit upon its release in 1987. With over 2.5 million records sold, it has earned a Grammy Award, been certified double platinum, and remains the biggest-selling non-English-language album in the U.S.

A video of Linda Ronstadt performing the song “Los Laureles” with Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán is featured in the Gilbert Velez exhibit in MIM’s United States / Canada Gallery.
