All Music Guide

Few performers are more closely associated with the ranchera style than Lucha Villa, who rose to fame in the 1960s as an actress, but has also won a large and loyal audience with her powerful and compelling vocal style, recording and performing for fans well into the new millennium. Lo Mejor de Lucha Villa is a collection featuring 15 selections recorded during Villa's tenure with Mexico's well-respected Discos Musart label. Selections include "Fina Estampa," "Amenonos," "No Me Amebaces," "Inocente Pobre Amiga," "Corrido de Chihuahua," and ten others.
