He started as an opera singer but ended up singing rancheras because at that time, it was more popular. Opera didn’t have a big enough audience. He didn’t want to wear a mariachi costume at first. Who would have thought that he sang rancheras in such a beautiful way that he brought mariachi music to a new height in the heart of Mexicans and the whole world.

Btw, as you guessed he was classical trained.

Angel, gracias por reaccionar a nuestra Leyenda. El gran Charro Cantor: el Tenor Dramático ó Barítono Jorge Negrete. Militar de carrera, a los 16 años ingresó en el Colegio Militar dónde se graduó como teniente de administración, en 1930 fue nombrado capitán segundo y efectuó estudios militares en París y Roma (en 1940 quiso participar en la Segunda Guerra Mundial como soldado estadounidense pero no se le permitió alistarse). Paralelamente a sus labores castrenses... Cierto día siguiendo a una linda joven que ingreso a un edificio y luego entro a un departamento, un hombre mayor en la recepción le pregunto que buscaba, a la chica ella viene a tomar clases de cato - también yo- respondió. Estudió Bell canto, con el prestigioso maestro José Pierson, Director de la Compañía Impulsora de Opera de México, quien fue profesor de cantantes de ópera notables en la época, como Fanny Anitúa , José Mojica y Román Nava Álvarez, tenor dramático, nieto del Gral. Independentista y Presidente "Juan Álvarez" (conocido en Italia cómo el carusso mexicano) y de intérpretes populares como Pedro Vargas, Alfonso Ortiz Tirado y Hugo Avendaño. Negrete de 20 años empezó a cantar para la radio, interpretó por primera vez en la cadena de radiodifusión XETR conocidas arias operísticas y canciones de compositores mexicanos. En 1931, con el grado de capitán segundo, solicitó licencia del Ejército Mexicano para dedicarse completamente a su carrera de cantante En 1932 Bajo el seudónimo de Alberto Moreno para que no se enteraran en su casa, de que estaba cantando, llegó a grabar algunas óperas. La gran calidad de su voz y su aspecto distinguido le permitieron ganar una rápida celebridad en los escenarios mexicanos y extranjeros. Se presento en diferentes teatros de USA. Tratando de colocarse como cantante en un teatro de New York le ofrecieron ser cantante suplente, no acepto. Regreso a México y comenzó a hacer películas y el charro cantor ya no pudo regresar a la opera. Muchos cantantes se han visto influidos y han expresado su admiración hacia Jorge Negrete, desde los más populares hasta los más líricos, Don Jorge, le decía el gran Pedro Infante, que se sentía intimidado por la voz y personalidad de Negrete, del que decía: es bien parecido, alto, habla 5 idiomas inglés, francés, alemán, italiano. español y a mi, mi esposa me esta enseñando a escribir. Pedro tomo clases de Bell Canto, tratando de imitar a Negrete. Solo te salen gritos le decía Manuel Esperon. Alfredo Kraus, el tenor, comentó en una entrevista cuando le preguntaron qué discos le gustaba escuchar; que cuando quería escuchar a un gran cantante escuchaba a Jorge Negrete. Placido Domingo, dice su libro Mis primeros cuarenta años que para él Jorge Negrete era el "Non Plus Ultra", es decir, "No hay más allá". Se dice también que el tenor italiano Franco Corelli, llegó a elogiar la voz de Jorge Negrete, diciendo que si este hubiera continuado con su carrera de cantante de ópera, habría llegado a estar entre los mejores del mundo. El estilo patriótico de las canciones que interpretaba Jorge Negrete, en las que se ensalzaban valores como la valentía, el valor o la familia, cuajó en el seno en una sociedad mexicana, que venía saliendo de los mal sabores de la revolución mexicana, y estaba necesitada de creencias sobre los que reconstruir una identidad nacional. Estilo al que siguieron muchos artistas de la época de oro del cine Mexicano. El Charro Cantor, dejo muy alto el nivel de interpretación para los cantantes de música ranchera que se respetan, y se ven obligados a aprender a cantar bien y en directo.
I am from Venezuela and we had a very strong exposition to Mexican music through television and cinema. My grandma used to watch and enjoy this kind of movies and I developed a crush on Jorge...at 9 or 10 years old! His voice and presence were very impressive.
So I'm guessing you also watched Pedro Infante as well (The animated movie Coco paid homage to both actor/singers.) It's so sad that both legends died at such a young age (Negrete at 42 from hepatitis and Infante in a plane crash at 40.) I don't know if people realize how huge Negrete was in the Actors Union in Mexico (he and Cantinflas has a massive battle over leadership of the Union.)
The great Alfredo Kraus once said that whenever he wanted to listen to a great singer he listened to Jorge Negrete. Also Plácido Domingo and Franco Corelli expressed their admiration for him.

Jorge Negrete aka "El Charro Cantor" or "The Singing Charro" was along with the immortal Pedro Infante, Miguel Aceves Mejía, and Javier Solís one of the greatest Ranchero singers of all time. He studied classical opera before going to acting and Ranchero music, hail to a great Jorge Negrete!!
yes!!!!! los tres gallos Mexicanos, Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete and Javier Solís! i also love Miguel Aceves Mejia but José Alfredo Jiménez was also a huge part then with all his songs, one of Mexico’s biggest and best composers and now a lot of his songs were sung by Pedro Infante and even modern singers and a lot of Vicente’s songs also
Jorge Negrete was a Tenor and sung opera in Mexico, but Ranchera and Mariachi did make him a superstar across the whole spanish speaking world even with fans in Europe and Asia, his film career was also successful and millions mourned his tragic death. Thanks Angel to review him, (in my opinion one of the top 3 Mexican singers ever).
@@robertsosa2083 he was something in between a tenor and a baritone, either a lower-deep dramatical tenor leaning into baritone or a lightier and higher baritone leaning into tenor. Usually the so-called Second Tenor voices fall in a mix-up between a lower tenor or a higher baritone types, and they usually label themselves and lean more as tenors because after all there are greater songs and leading roles for those heroic tenor voices, rather on true baritones for the same level - and usually at those times, true full-baritones sounded even lower and darker as they´re First Bass-type rather than Second Tenor. Nowadays as the musical tunning point is quite higher than at the middle of 20th century, the baritones are sung by the lighter baritones of the Second Tenor grade, instead of First Basses, and the latter ones became the absolute true basses as the real ones of Second Bass tier type became so much rarer today!! Darker heroic tenors now aren´t just Second Tenor type but a mix-up between the First Tenor and Second Tenor tiers which back then was the central Lyrical Tenor standard one, and these ones are now totally at the First Tenor label alongside the Light/Coloratura Tenors not much different from each other except in weight and lenght on reaching higher notes - Coloratura Tenors are pretty much neutral or androgyne voices than what they were some 75 years ago as everything got higher and higher. So for today standards, Negrete voice could be labeled as a true barytone, but back then there wasn´t any doubt he was a true heroic/deeper tenor then.
@@lhadzyan7300 Very interesting analysis of his voice. and the differences. In his time he had a reputation of being a baritone. And is widely accepted he was such. I learnt a lot about differences in the almost the same range.
¡Viva México! Pdt: I'm from Mexico and I am proud to say that Jorge Negrete was and is one of the most transcendent symbols of our culture of the so-called Mexican golden film era
Not sure why this was recommended to me, but it was a very welcome surprise to be sure. Had never heard of Jorge Negrete, but his voice is amazing. The control, the tone, the little vocal "speed bumps" he peppered in throughout. That was good.
Yo soy Mexicano y puedo decir que es el mejor exponente de rancheras un género que es una mezcla de varios estilos, Jorge Negrete además cantaba ópera. Viva Mexico 🍾🥂
Jorge Alberto Negrete Moreno.. One of the greatest Mexican singers ever.. He was able to speak several languages.. But you should listen to his grandson Lorenzo.. He sounds just like him.. Hands down. Greetings.
Negrete surely must be praised, but you're passionate and accurate way of analizing and lovely reactions too. You clearly enjoy a lot and makes us enjoy. Already suscribed.
La época dorada de México, mí papá toca la guitarra,tiene los cuadernillos de las canciones de sus grandes ídolos, Jorge Negrete y Pedro Infante, viva México, viva Veracruz.
Gracias por reconocer a nuestra Gran primer Tenor de México el Gran Jorge Negrete. Primer ídolo de México Admirado por los grandes tenores de su tiempo cuentan biógrafos .y en la actualidad placido Domingo y franco correlli lo admiran. Entre muchos grandes tenores
It is really sad, when you go to México's today top songs on Spotify there's only reggaeton, banda and rap. We forgot the beautifulness of mariachi and rancheras.
Looks like y'all also forgot the beautifulness of banda, like you should research more about the genre. For example, i can recommend you to listen "Dios Nunca Muere" or "Pinotepa Nacional" with banda oaxaqueña (or just any chilena with banda; there's also a video out there of "banda sinaloense vs banda oaxaqueña" so you can hear the differences)
My mom never lets me forget it. I remember lowkey feeling embarrassed when she played ranchera music but now I’m like whatever. Still so underrated. I think my mom is super mexican because some of my friends who claim I’m not Mexican enough don’t event like the most Mexican things. I still till this day prefer hearing the news in Spanish. Idk why.
What's the problem? Music evolves and everything's beautiful or interesting in their own way. That's how we work, we evolve, and it doesn't make banda or reggaeton any less of a good genre or music
Well, here you are talking about a god, no kidding Jorge Negrete hypnotized millions o people singing with such a masculine style and, he is one of the big names in the golden time of Mexican movie industry the way he executed those songs is second to none, then later on other singers became a group of gods like Negrete but with a different technique, and gave life to songs which keep impacting millions still in these days, these singers are alive in the heart of people , every praise have been given to them by the millions of fans who still buy their records throughout the Spanish speaking world .
I love all Mexican music from this era. It’s beautiful, full of pride and just so so well done. I almost cry every time I hear Jorge Negrete sing. Also...what a babe. ♥️
We were in a downtown Rome, Italy, hotel one day back in 1993. when the owner/manager of the place learned that we were Mexicans, he immediately made reference to Jorge Negrete, whom he called "the best singer in the world!" That was nice coming from a compatriot of Luciano Pavarotti. I also know that Placido Domingo (born in Spain) grew up in Mexico, admiring Jorge Negrete and wanted to sing like him. Placido got his dream and then some.
Nice video, I'm from México. And here, like, 80% of our grandpa's and grandma's can sing something like that, because they grew up whit these songs, whit these actors, whit these voices and it's so beautiful, beacuse you go to your grandpa's house and listen their voice when they sings. You have my like.👌🏼
Hey, you are so beautiful and charismatic, thanks for u reaction! He's an icon in Mexico, and now im waiting for more reactions about our Country, greetings from Mexico City!
Jorge Negrete was an opera singer, but he made his carreer acting and singing popular music, there's a movie that actualy stars with him singing " O sole mio" you should look for it 😊
Jorge was Indeed classical trained, he was chosen by Lawrence Tibbet him self as his substitute or alternate, yet Negrete who was a proud man declined.
Gracias por este magnífico vídeo! Soy mexicana y , a pesar de haber nacido después de que nuestro Jorge había fallecido, lo he admirado siempre!😍 Y es de las pocas voces que me produce éxtasis!
I loved your video. I adore Jorge’s voice. He was known to be a baritone, but lately, his vocal range was re classified as baritone massimo. he was loved by Placido Domingo. One of his most overwhelming songs is Mexico lindo y querido. Hope you can take a look at that one.
Yeah! That opera techniques can be use for new styles! My grandpa was an opera singer, and he was always proud of it, he always mention that same thing.
Welcome to Jorge Negrete's fan club, In my family he is the equivalent to Pavarotti to italians, his Baritone voice was very educated, armonic, manly but with a touch of softness you don't find anywhere else, combine that with great songs composed by Manuel Esperón and played by the famous "Trío Calaveras" and you get something nothing short of a heaven-like experience. Curious fact: Jorge Negrete is probably as well known in Cuba as he is in México. Search for a song named "Cuba de mi vida" performed live in Havana, if it doesn't touch your heart, nothing will. After hearing him Pedro Infante will sound like a peasant singing for his cows.
Jorge Negrete took singing lessons with the prestigious maestro José Pierson, which allowed him to start singing for the radio. When he performed well-known operatic arias and songs by Mexican composers for the first time on the XETR radio station in 1930, a dizzying and frantic career to fame and stardom began for that young man, barely twenty years old. After singing opera (he even recorded some operas in 1932 under the pseudonym Alberto Moreno) and performed on the radio and in music magazines in his country, such as the popular "Calles y más calles" at the Lírico theater (1935), with songs by maestro Juan S. Garrido, Negrete also worked on the most prestigious stages in the United States, from where he jumped to the great world theaters.
If you feel like this is one of the most beautiful voices you've presented on this channel then you MUST react to Mexico Lindo y Querido (Remastered) by Jorge Negrete, pls and thanks for your insights ❤️
her: all these 1940s movies are so fun and I like to watch them when I just want to relax and have a happy ending me having watched "nosotros los pobres" "ustedes los ricos" and "un rincon cerca del cielo" : UMMMMmm..........
I want to share that I am from that beautiful time and cried so much when he passed away in 1953 at the age of 42. He was trained, and would have been great, as an opera singer but he was so good looking that he became the most famous Mexican movie star instead.
Even tho I'm not into opera, it was low-key interesting to see a professional debunk all the elements within a song and elaborate even further as to make the audience understand about the subject well
I really enjoyed your reaction and great assessment of one of my favorite singers. Those movies always remind me of my grandfather . Thanks for your thoughts and by the way your are beautiful
Remember that this is from the times when artists got their places in history from *actual talent* and not for being only gym pretty faces with a ton of media promotion, pushing them more for their photoshopped looks and 'image' than for their generic 'talent'. Too many karaoke singers these days.
Hi Angela, I MUST say I did truly enjoyed your review on Jorge Negrete's performance, in particular because YOU are an Opera Singer and truly understand and you explain the technic from Jorge Negrete's singing, bravo!
I loved your facial expression of joy. Is exactly what his voice brings to everybody is like when you are very thirsty and have a glass of pure water. Did you know Jorge negrete has 2 grand sons that are excellent singers as well? Their names are Lorenzo and Manuel Negrete. Their voices are very alike his grandfather and is hard to tell who you like better. Have you ever reacted to spanish singer Camilo Sesto? He has plenty of beautiful songs, perhaps the best male spanish singer. And he played JesusChrist in Spain's Jesuschrist superstar.
Wow, you’re an amazing critic. I have never appreciated his voice until after listening to your step by step breakdown and clear explanation. Thank You!
My Mothers favorite voice along with Pavarotti. We watched so many Jorge Negrete movies. So thankful she introduced me to these amazing singers and their music.
I really enjoyed Angel's review of this iconic song from the legendary Jorge Negrete. As an accomplished singer herself, she goes through the technical stuff with ample knowledge and no pretensions, just candidly analyzing the song. I love her facial and body expressions to underline some aspect of the song. Her evaluation is to me, a testament of the high quality voice Negrete had. Kudos to you, guapa!
Jorge Negrete era demasiado humilde, tenía más voz (por mucho), más interpretación y mejor porte que Pedro Infante y aún así en canciones como la de Coplas de dos tipos de cuidado, nunca quizo humillar a Pedro, porque de haber querido lo arrastra con sus rangos vocales, Jorge debería tener el triple de reconocimiento de lo que Pedro tuvo, demasiado infravalorado
Encantada de conocerte!!!!! Increíble que analices el desempeño vocal del maestro Jorge Negrete a años de distancia. Muy interesante opinión. Por supuesto te voy a seguir. Un saludo desde la ciudad de México
I grew up with these movies and always drop a tear (or two), when hear the music or see the movies again. Jorge Negrete, Tito Guizar, Pedro Vargas, some of the best of that period in time. Love to see your face reacting to this music and his voice, thanks for sharing.

@@robertsosa2083 he was something in between a tenor and a baritone, either a lower-deep dramatical tenor leaning into baritone or a lightier and higher baritone leaning into tenor. Usually the so-called Second Tenor voices fall in a mix-up between a lower tenor or a higher baritone types, and they usually label themselves and lean more as tenors because after all there are greater songs and leading roles for those heroic tenor voices, rather on true baritones for the same level - and usually at those times, true full-baritones sounded even lower and darker as they´re First Bass-type rather than Second Tenor.
Nowadays as the musical tunning point is quite higher than at the middle of 20th century, the baritones are sung by the lighter baritones of the Second Tenor grade, instead of First Basses, and the latter ones became the absolute true basses as the real ones of Second Bass tier type became so much rarer today!!
Darker heroic tenors now aren´t just Second Tenor type but a mix-up between the First Tenor and Second Tenor tiers which back then was the central Lyrical Tenor standard one, and these ones are now totally at the First Tenor label alongside the Light/Coloratura Tenors not much different from each other except in weight and lenght on reaching higher notes - Coloratura Tenors are pretty much neutral or androgyne voices than what they were some 75 years ago as everything got higher and higher.
So for today standards, Negrete voice could be labeled as a true barytone, but back then there wasn´t any doubt he was a true heroic/deeper tenor then.
@@lhadzyan7300 Very interesting analysis of his voice. and the differences. In his time he had a reputation of being a baritone. And is widely accepted he was such. I learnt a lot about differences in the almost the same range.
¡Viva México!
Pdt: I'm from Mexico and I am proud to say that Jorge Negrete was and is one of the most transcendent symbols of our culture of the so-called Mexican golden film era
Mexico lindo y querido. Si muero lejos de ti. Que digan que Estoy dormido. Y que me traigan aqui.
Stay with someone who looks at you the way Angel Opera looks at Jorge Negrete
Saludos desde México
😂😂😂😂 you are not wrong
Not sure why this was recommended to me, but it was a very welcome surprise to be sure. Had never heard of Jorge Negrete, but his voice is amazing. The control, the tone, the little vocal "speed bumps" he peppered in throughout. That was good.
He's a legend. He paved the way for a lot of Mexican artist today. Thank you Tio!
Era tu tío abuelo?
Eres de la Familia Negrete? Yo soy de la Familia Aguilar. My tío es Antonio Aguilar. 🙏🌹
You related? Wow then your sobrino spunds just like the abuelo amazin
Okay. This is important, because we need to bring natural sound back. I'm getting lessons when I move, and I want to SLAY acapella.
Totally agree- no auto tune, no compression. Just LA VOCE.
Sweet! I offer lessons if you want to check it out- link is in the description
Negrete did a recording of the Opera classic "O Sole Mío" in the movie Dos Tipos de Cuidado. I recommend you watch it!
That’s no opera, o sole mío is a Neapolitan song...
Negrete cantaba como tenor y varitono
O sole mio is a neapolitan song, not an aria.
You guys just made me miss my dad and my grandparents
Cantó O sole mio!!???? Ohhh voy a buscar yaaaa gracias!
Yo soy Mexicano y puedo decir que es el mejor exponente de rancheras un género que es una mezcla de varios estilos, Jorge Negrete además cantaba ópera. Viva Mexico 🍾🥂
La voz de Jorge Negrete es la voz más hermosa que ha existido jamás!!! Además es el hombre más hermoso que ha existido jamás!!! Lo amo, lo adoro...
Jorge Alberto Negrete Moreno..
One of the greatest Mexican singers ever..
He was able to speak several languages..
But you should listen to his grandson Lorenzo..
He sounds just like him..
Hands down.
Greetings.
Val Rocc agree but Lorenzo is baritone and Jorge was a Dramatic Tenor
Lorenzo is good but Jorge was on a whole different level.
@@frenchboymacho7799 Nop, Lorenzo is a light tenor, Jorge was a baritone.
@@JoseHernandez-bh8lz INDEED! He´ll NEVER EVER sound like his grandpa... EVER!
Sin duda JORGE NEGRETE es la mejor voz de México. 🇲🇽
Negrete surely must be praised, but you're passionate and accurate way of analizing and lovely reactions too. You clearly enjoy a lot and makes us enjoy. Already suscribed.
Thank you!
I get tears in my eyes. It isn't only the voice. It is also the lyrics. Orgullo de ser mexicana!!!
La época dorada de México, mí papá toca la guitarra,tiene los cuadernillos de las canciones de sus grandes ídolos, Jorge Negrete y Pedro Infante, viva México, viva Veracruz.
Gracias por reconocer a nuestra Gran primer Tenor de México el Gran Jorge Negrete. Primer ídolo de México Admirado por los grandes tenores de su tiempo cuentan biógrafos .y en la actualidad placido Domingo y franco correlli lo admiran. Entre muchos grandes tenores
It is really sad, when you go to México's today top songs on Spotify there's only reggaeton, banda and rap. We forgot the beautifulness of mariachi and rancheras.
And opera
Corridos
Looks like y'all also forgot the beautifulness of banda, like you should research more about the genre. For example, i can recommend you to listen "Dios Nunca Muere" or "Pinotepa Nacional" with banda oaxaqueña (or just any chilena with banda; there's also a video out there of "banda sinaloense vs banda oaxaqueña" so you can hear the differences)
My mom never lets me forget it. I remember lowkey feeling embarrassed when she played ranchera music but now I’m like whatever. Still so underrated. I think my mom is super mexican because some of my friends who claim I’m not Mexican enough don’t event like the most Mexican things. I still till this day prefer hearing the news in Spanish. Idk why.
What's the problem? Music evolves and everything's beautiful or interesting in their own way. That's how we work, we evolve, and it doesn't make banda or reggaeton any less of a good genre or music
Es maravilloso ver que la musica no tiene idiomas o color en este mundo tan revuelto...🎶🎶😍😍
Well, here you are talking about a god, no kidding Jorge Negrete hypnotized millions o people singing with such a masculine style and, he is one of the big names in the golden time of Mexican movie industry the way he executed those songs is second to none, then later on other singers became a group of gods like Negrete but with a different technique, and gave life to songs which keep impacting millions still in these days, these singers are alive in the heart of people , every praise have been given to them by the millions of fans who still buy their records throughout the Spanish speaking world .
I love all Mexican music from this era. It’s beautiful, full of pride and just so so well done. I almost cry every time I hear Jorge Negrete sing. Also...what a babe. ♥️
We were in a downtown Rome, Italy, hotel one day back in 1993. when the owner/manager of the place learned that we were Mexicans, he immediately made reference to Jorge Negrete, whom he called "the best singer in the world!" That was nice coming from a compatriot of Luciano Pavarotti. I also know that Placido Domingo (born in Spain) grew up in Mexico, admiring Jorge Negrete and wanted to sing like him. Placido got his dream and then some.
I can tell you're loving the music you're feeling it so deeply. That alone makes this whole video great!
Jorge Negrete es el más grande exponente de la música mexicana y ninguno se le ha igualado en su maravillosa voz. Además que era guapísimo.
Nice video, I'm from México. And here, like, 80% of our grandpa's and grandma's can sing something like that, because they grew up whit these songs, whit these actors, whit these voices and it's so beautiful, beacuse you go to your grandpa's house and listen their voice when they sings. You have my like.👌🏼
Jorge Negrete ❤️❤️❤️🇲🇽👍🏻👍🏻
Hey, you are so beautiful and charismatic, thanks for u reaction! He's an icon in Mexico, and now im waiting for more reactions about our Country, greetings from Mexico City!
JORGE NEGRETE IS THE BEST...🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
i say this in spanish: muchas gracias por escuchar esta música tradicional y reaccionar a un cantante tan representativo como jorge negrete
😎. Jorge Negrete = Talent + Confidence + Good looks + Class. In other words, (El Señor) was the "full package," as they say ! 💙
I love your sincerity ♥️
Pd. He was in the army. He trained in opera. He was the president of the national actors asociation.
He was founder and president
He's Placido Domingo's idol. Was Respected by both Alfredo Krause and Franco Corelli. Jorge Negrete was no joke. Mexico's greatest voice.
Magnificent! Orgullo Mexicano!
Jorge Negrete was an opera singer, but he made his carreer acting and singing popular music, there's a movie that actualy stars with him singing " O sole mio" you should look for it 😊
Jorge was Indeed classical trained, he was chosen by Lawrence Tibbet him self as his substitute or alternate, yet Negrete who was a proud man declined.
opera singer reacting to an opera singer too
thats why she liked him
The best... ever.
Que bonito es ver gente recordándolo
Gracias por este magnífico vídeo! Soy mexicana y , a pesar de haber nacido después de que nuestro Jorge había fallecido, lo he admirado siempre!😍 Y es de las pocas voces que me produce éxtasis!
He's confident & comfortable cuz he's Mexican!! In Cali we sing, Yo Soy Chicano! Swags in the DNA.
I loved your video. I adore Jorge’s voice. He was known to be a baritone, but lately, his vocal range was re classified as baritone massimo. he was loved by Placido Domingo. One of his most overwhelming songs is Mexico lindo y querido. Hope you can take a look at that one.
Yeah! That opera techniques can be use for new styles! My grandpa was an opera singer, and he was always proud of it, he always mention that same thing.
Agua del pozo de la virgen mexicana. Ranchera bonita y melódica. Para mi la mejor de Jorge.
I just love his art. Until today, i haven't seen anyone else in my age that likes this music. I listen to his arte pieces everyday ❤
Love Jorge Negrete, he was amazing , please react to EL JINETE
Thanks and many blessings💙
react to "MEXICO LINDO Y QUERIDO, of JORGE NEGRETE" 💗🇲🇽
¿Ya se te olvidó el español? ¡Ah! B u e n o...?
Luis Lozano Cisneros Eso es lo que mis padres me dicen cuando hablo ingles.
Welcome to Jorge Negrete's fan club, In my family he is the equivalent to Pavarotti to italians, his Baritone voice was very educated, armonic, manly but with a touch of softness you don't find anywhere else, combine that with great songs composed by Manuel Esperón and played by the famous "Trío Calaveras" and you get something nothing short of a heaven-like experience. Curious fact: Jorge Negrete is probably as well known in Cuba as he is in México. Search for a song named "Cuba de mi vida" performed live in Havana, if it doesn't touch your heart, nothing will. After hearing him Pedro Infante will sound like a peasant singing for his cows.
Gracias por tu reaccion al Charro cantor, nuestro gran Jorge Negrete; orgullo mexicano...viva siempre.
México lindo y querido or granada are two beautiful interpretations of Negrete
la musica folcklorica mexicana no es cualquier cosa solamente con verdadera voz de tenores se logra ...arriba México!!!!
His voice always tears me up
Checked his wiki page: he did get opera training. He was also in a military school so that helped him with his posture and demeanor on camera :)
Yes, he was too handsome 😍😍😍
Jorge Negrete is my favorite Mexican singer of all time. Greetings!😀
It’s so textured and yet so smooth!!
Jorge Negrete took singing lessons with the prestigious maestro José Pierson, which allowed him to start singing for the radio. When he performed well-known operatic arias and songs by Mexican composers for the first time on the XETR radio station in 1930, a dizzying and frantic career to fame and stardom began for that young man, barely twenty years old. After singing opera (he even recorded some operas in 1932 under the pseudonym Alberto Moreno) and performed on the radio and in music magazines in his country, such as the popular "Calles y más calles" at the Lírico theater (1935), with songs by maestro Juan S. Garrido, Negrete also worked on the most prestigious stages in the United States, from where he jumped to the great world theaters.
If you feel like this is one of the most beautiful voices you've presented on this channel then you MUST react to Mexico Lindo y Querido (Remastered) by Jorge Negrete, pls and thanks for your insights ❤️
His voice is just 😍
Peregrina by Jorge negrete is beautiful
Excelente voz de Jorge Negrete
her: all these 1940s movies are so fun and I like to watch them when I just want to relax and have a happy ending
me having watched "nosotros los pobres" "ustedes los ricos" and "un rincon cerca del cielo" : UMMMMmm..........
I want to share that I am from that beautiful time and cried so much when he passed away in 1953 at the age of 42. He was trained, and would have been great, as an opera singer but he was so good looking that he became the most famous Mexican movie star instead.
Even tho I'm not into opera, it was low-key interesting to see a professional debunk all the elements within a song and elaborate even further as to make the audience understand about the subject well
I really enjoyed your reaction and great assessment of one of my favorite singers. Those movies always remind me of my grandfather . Thanks for your thoughts and by the way your are beautiful
Remember that this is from the times when artists got their places in history from *actual talent* and not for being only gym pretty faces with a ton of media promotion, pushing them more for their photoshopped looks and 'image' than for their generic 'talent'. Too many karaoke singers these days.
Hi Angela, I MUST say I did truly enjoyed your review on Jorge Negrete's performance, in particular because YOU are an Opera Singer and truly understand and you explain the technic from Jorge Negrete's singing, bravo!
JORGE NEGRETE start her carrer has a opera singer... he don like to sing ranchera at the begining... in the end he is the iconic charro cantor.
His*
Gigante jorge negrete idolo de mexico y hasta de placido Domingo
Her face 🤣 she looks like she’s really enjoying it
I loved your facial expression of joy. Is exactly what his voice brings to everybody is like when you are very thirsty and have a glass of pure water. Did you know Jorge negrete has 2 grand sons that are excellent singers as well? Their names are Lorenzo and Manuel Negrete. Their voices are very alike his grandfather and is hard to tell who you like better.
Have you ever reacted to spanish singer Camilo Sesto? He has plenty of beautiful songs, perhaps the best male spanish singer. And he played JesusChrist in Spain's Jesuschrist superstar.
Wow, you’re an amazing critic. I have never appreciated his voice until after listening to your step by step breakdown and clear explanation. Thank You!
I love Jorge Negrete
Saludos, eres una dama que sabe apreciar la música. Te sugiero reacciones a No Sé Porqué, de Jorge Negrete...
My Mothers favorite voice along with Pavarotti. We watched so many Jorge Negrete movies. So thankful she introduced me to these amazing singers and their music.
You should listen a Jorge Negrete´s grand son (Lorenzo Negrete), their voices are very similar.
I really enjoyed Angel's review of this iconic song from the legendary Jorge Negrete. As an accomplished singer herself, she goes through the technical stuff with ample knowledge and no pretensions, just candidly analyzing the song. I love her facial and body expressions to underline some aspect of the song. Her evaluation is to me, a testament of the high quality voice Negrete had. Kudos to you, guapa!
Jorge Negrete era demasiado humilde, tenía más voz (por mucho), más interpretación y mejor porte que Pedro Infante y aún así en canciones como la de Coplas de dos tipos de cuidado, nunca quizo humillar a Pedro, porque de haber querido lo arrastra con sus rangos vocales, Jorge debería tener el triple de reconocimiento de lo que Pedro tuvo, demasiado infravalorado
Aún asi Pedro es el ídolo de México, porque???
Lo popular no siempre es lo mejor,
Encantada de conocerte!!!!! Increíble que analices el desempeño vocal del maestro Jorge Negrete a años de distancia. Muy interesante opinión. Por supuesto te voy a seguir. Un saludo desde la ciudad de México
I grew up with these movies and always drop a tear (or two), when hear the music or see the movies again. Jorge Negrete, Tito Guizar, Pedro Vargas, some of the best of that period in time. Love to see your face reacting to this music and his voice, thanks for sharing.
Gracias por valorar a nuestro gran cantante Jorge negrete, saludos cordiales de Guadalajara mexico!!!
