At the age of four, Alejandro Fernández was already appearing on stage
with his father:
Vicente Fernandez, the voice that
made Mexican "rancheras" famous and made it known to new generations.
His
son, Alejandro, was of course expected to have the advantage of being the
master's disciple and he began as such. But, as always happens, where there is
an artist there is also unease, anxiety for renewal, anxiety of artistic and
personal growth, anxiety in the search for new paths to develop a personal style
which, beginning at one's roots, may evolve toward new artistic horizons. Step
by step, this evolution has taken place in Alejandro Fernandez' career,
starting from his childhood, going through his adolescence and into his young
adulthood.
His recording debut took place as a duet sung with his father: "Amor de los dos"
(Our Love). The song was a total success, and in the progenitor's following
album, Alejandro sung a solo: "El Andariego" (The Wanderer). Alejandro was only
19 at the time. Two years later, his first album, "Alejandro Fernandez,"
revealed his aptitude for music as well as the deep sonority and harmony of his
voice. His next album, "Piel
de Niña" (A Girl's Skin), continued attracting the public's attention toward
this new singer, who, due to his lineage and vocation was destined to rejuvenate
Mexican "rancheras". "Acabé por Llorar" (I Ended Up Crying), "Cenizas" (Ashes),
"A la Vera del Camino" (Alongside the Road)" and "Cascos Ligeros" (Light Hooves)
were some of the most popular songs.
Although Alejandro Fernandez, due to culture and upbringing, belongs to
the most pure Mexican tradition, he also felt the need to expand his personal
development and after his studies in grade school and high school, he enrolled
in the Atemajac Valley University to study Architecture.
Although born in Mexico City, Alejandro grew up in Guadalajara between horseback
riding in the country and the city life. His musical knowledge was genetic - not
only from his father's influence, but also of participating in parties and
gatherings where the most deeply rooted traditions of the popular Mexican
culture were passionately sung and lived. Music won over architecture and his
following album was a compilation of some of the traditional songs of Latin
American romantic music which Alejandro Fernandez adapted to his style,
bringing out the most romantic aspects of his personality and adorning it with
songs like "Conozco a los Dos" (I Know Them Both), "A Pesar de Todo" (In Spite
of it All), "La Gloria Eres Tú" (The Glory is You), "Noche de Ronda" (Night
Watch), etc. "Grandes Exitos a la Manera de Alejandro Fernández" (Great Hits in
the Style of Alejandro Fernández) was the generic title of the album.
The two albums that followed, "Que Seas Muy Feliz" (May You Be Very Happy) and "Muy
Dentro de mi Corazón" (Deeply within My Heart), began a new stage in Alejandro's
career. With these, and due to songs like "La Mitad que me Faltaba" (The Part of
Me That Was Missing), "Llorando Penas" (Crying Sorrows), "Como Quien Pierde Una
Estrella" (Like Someone Losing a Star), "Nube Viajera" (Wandering Cloud) and "Es
la Mujer" (She's the Woman), he achieves the admiration of a younger audience,
and with it and most importantly, the identification of new generations with the
Mexican musical tradition.
His album, "Mi Estoy Enamorando" (I'm Falling in Love), meant a giant leap for
Alejandro Fernandez
towards new musical horizons. Romantic ballads and songs closer to pop, without
losing an iota of Mexican essence, have conquered the most diverse Latin
American, North American and European fans. The first four singles taken from
the album, "Me Estoy Enamorando" (I'm Falling in Love), "Si Tu Supieras" (If You
Knew), "En el Jardín" (In the Garden), (sung as a duo with
Gloria Estefan) and "Yo Nací para
Amarte" (I Was Born to Love You), have consecutively been #1 on the Latin music
charts Billboard's magazine. The album has gone multi-platinum in Latin America
and has exceeded 2.2 million sales worldwide.
