Aida Cuevas

This is a song by Aida Cuevas, entitled El Pastor. It's in Spanish (obviously) so maybe a few of you could help out with the translation because I have no idea what this song is about! Aida Cuevas is a Mexican singer and she is also known as "The Queen of Ranchera". All of her music is Mexican influenced, and you can hear the Mexican roots in her sound. She has released a total of twenty seven albums, and won a Grammy Award, along with many others.

I personally enjoyed her sound, she has a very interesting voice, which a large range of high and low tones.

What is interesting about this song, which you can see if you check out the music video, is that along with the common Mexican instruments, there is also a big use of violins - which add tremendously to the overall beauty of the music.

Let me know what you all think!
