With her expressive vocals, Lola Beltrán brought ranchera or mariachi music from the barrios of Mexico to the international stage. During the four decades that she was active, Beltrán recorded more than 70 tunes with many achieving gold record status. Her hits included such classic tunes as "Huapango Torero," "La Cigarra," and "Paloma Negra." Beltrán made her professional debut as a singer while in her twenties, but she was soon signed to a recording contract by Peerless Records. In addition to her career as a vocalist, Beltrán was successful as a co-producer and actress in several films, including Cucurucucu Paloma. Beltrán celebrated her 40th anniversary in music with a concert at the Palacio del las Bellas Artes in 1994, but died two years later following a stroke. ~ Craig Harris Wikipedia
