Dos Arbolitos

Lyrics

Han nacido en mi rancho dos arbolitos
Dos arbolitos que parecen gemelos
Y desde mi casita los veo solitos
Bajo el amparo santo y la luz del cielo

Nunca están separados uno del otro
Porque asi quiso Dios que los dos nacieran
Y con sus mismas ramas se hacen caricias
Como si fueran novios que se quisieran

Arbolito, arbolito, bajo tu sombra
Voy a esperar que el dia cansado muera
Y cuando estoy solito mirando al cielo
Pido pa' que me mande una compañera

Cuando voy a mis siembras y a los maizales
Entre los surcos riego todo mi llanto
Sólo tengo de amigos mis animales
A los que con tristeza siempre les canto

Las vacas, los novillos y los becerros
Saben que necesito que alguien me quiera
Y mi caballo pinto y hasta mi perro
Han cambiado y me miran de otra manera

Arbolito, arbolito, me siento solo
Quiero que me acompañes hasta que muera

Vicente Fernandez
Vicente Fernández (born Vicente Fernández Gómez on February 17, 1940) is a Mexican ranchera singer. He is the father of Alejandro Fernández, also a popular Mexican artist. Fernández's life could be described as a rags-to-riches story—having come from humble beginnings, he eventually established himself as a famous musician.

In his native Mexico, Vicente Fernández is hailed as the "king of the rancheras." He was born and raised in Huentitán el Alto, Jalisco, Mexico on February 17, 1940 to a poor family and had to work in his childhood to maintain himself. Fernandez worked as a shoeshine boy, a waiter and dishwasher. Later, he served as cashier and manager of his uncle's restaurant. During his youth he sung at a festival in Arandas, Jalisco. He was booed off the stage by the audience and vowed never to sing to the city again."

Vicente got his start when he won a Guadalajara singing contest. At age 21 he was in the show "La Calandria Musical" where he received his first payment for singing. He earned 35 pesos. He and his ranchera music have become most popular in Latin America and in Spain.

At 21, Fernandez decided to make his living by singing. Initially, he sang for tips at the Amanecer Tapatio, serenaded drivers who sat waiting to move in traffic, and continued with "La Calandria Musical." From there he went on to sing with some of Mexico's best-known mariachi groups, such as Amanecer de Pepe Mendoza and the Mariachi of Jose Luis Aguilar. It was through these groups that he met Felipe Arriaga.

Group(s)

Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan
El Mariachi Vargas se fundó en 1898, en el pueblo de Tecalitlán, al sur del estado de Jalisco. Los pilares del grupo fueron el líder Gaspar Vargas y Manuel Mendoza, acompañados por dos violines. En diciembre de 1934, viajaron a la capital de México para presentarse en la ceremonia de toma de posesión de el presidente Lázaro Cárdenas, quien posteriormente recomendó que fueran contratados por la Jefatura de Policía de la Ciudad de México, como Mariachi oficial.

En 1937, el Mariachi Vargas apareció en "Así es mi Tierra", la primera de sus casi doscientas películas. Ese mismo año grabaron sus primeros discos fonográficos. A éste siguieron álbumes monumentales de pasodobles, valses, bailables, polkas, danzones y semiclásicas -cada uno redefiniendo el estado del arte de la música de mariachi. La muerte en 1973 del más grande canta-autor de la música ranchera, José Alfredo Jiménez, marcóel fin de una era; sin embargo la música de mariachi siguió evolucionando, con el Mariachi Vargas al frente. A mediados de los setenta, el Vargas acompañó al cantante y compositor Juan Gabriel en sus primeras grabaciones, introduciendo una nueva y significativa forma de expresión en la música de mariachi. en 1976, Pepe Martínez asumió la dirección musical del Mariachi Vargas, un puesto que conserva hasta hoy día. Con el Vargas, Martínez transformo muchos de los primeros arreglos que había grabado con otros mariachis en verdaderas obras maestras como Popurrí de los Gallos y El Cascabel. Inspirándose en su propia versión de El Cascabel, Martínez extendió aún más las fronteras de la música del mariachi con Violín Huapango, un muestrario de ritmos y efectos novedosos que destaca a cada músico del grupo como solista.

La primera Conferencia Internacional del Mariachi que se llevó a cabo en San Antonio, Texas -con la actuación estelar de Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán- dio luz a un movimiento que nadie se imaginaba tendría tanto éxito. Desde entonces los festivales y conferencias de mariachi van en aumento en E.U., con el Vargas siempre como su más prestigiosa estrella. Ahora que el Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán inicia la celebración de su centenario, aún no hay grupo que pueda retar su fama. Al acercarnos al siglo XXI, esperamos otros cien años más de El Mejor Mariachi del Mundo.
