Amarte a la Antigua is an album by Mexican recording artist Pedro Fernández, released by Fonovisa Records on October 20, 2009.[1] The album received a Latin Grammy Award nomination for Best Ranchero Album.[2] The title song was the closing theme song of the award winning telenovela Hasta que el dinero nos separe which won Fernández the TVyNovelas_Award_for_Best_Actor. The popular video performance of the titled theme song is also from the telenovela.[3]
Because Pedro Fernández likes to wear traditional mariachi attire (including a sombrero at times), people who don't know a lot about his history might assume that Amarte a la Antigua is strictly a hardcore mariachi/ranchera album. But this 2009 release doesn't fit that description. Stylistically, Fernández has not been easy to pin down. He is both a Latin pop singer and a regional Mexican singer, and Amarte a la Antigua certainly doesn't follow a straight-ahead mariachi/ranchera blueprint 100 percent of the time.
Amarte a la Antigua obviously wasn't recorded with mariachi purists in mind, but then, those who have been closely following the career of Fernández (who turned 40 in 2009) know that he never pretended to be a mariachi purist. Fernández enjoys variety, which serves him well on this likable addition to his catalog.[4]
