Review

Owner of one of the most sensuous voices in the Latin music scene, Alejandro Fernández has kept his father, Vicente Fernández's heritage, getting involved in different popular rhythms as well. Produced by Kiko Campos and Pedro Ramírez, Orígenes was entirely recorded in Mexico, comprising romantic ballads and mid-tempo songs such as the Caribbean-flavored "Tu Desvario," the South American Andean folk-inspired "Pajaro Perdido," and the album's first single, "Tantita Pena." After a few blank tracks following "Tu Regresaras," Orígenes has a hidden version of the classic "Las Mañanitas." ~ Drago Bonacich, Rovi
