In this directory that depth shows up across ranchera and the broader regional-Mexican world — Vicente Fernández, José Alfredo Jiménez, Pedro Infante and Alejandro Fernández — alongside the bolero and balada romántica of Luis Miguel, Armando Manzanero, Juan Gabriel and José José.

It reaches into pop and rock too, from Selena to Café Tacvba, Maná and Carlos Santana — a span from golden-age songcraft to modern alternative sounds.
