The song has been covered by many artists over the years, but none have captured the emotion and intensity of the original as well as Barrera and Perez.
The song is part of Barrera’s 2008 album, “Music Sessions”, which features duets with is biggest influences. Barrera, who has won multiple Grammy awards and nominations, is known for his versatile style that blends conjunto, mariachi, and country. Perez, who has been dubbed “The Voice” by his fans, is one of the most popular Tejano singers of all time, with a smooth and powerful voice that can convey any emotion.
Together, they have created a masterpiece that transcends time and genres. Their soulful harmonies bring to life the tragic tale of La Llorona, or the Weeping Woman, with a haunting beauty that will touch your heart.
