The fact that Ezequiel Pe¤a has, on more than one occasion, posed in sombreros on his album covers (sometimes on horseback!) tells you a lot about his musical outlook. For a Mexican vocalist like Pe¤a, wearing a sombrero is sort of like a power metal revivalist having extremely long hair, or a retro-swing musician sporting a '40s-style hard-boiled detective look -- it might seem stereotypical, dated, and anachronistic to some (how many Mexican artists even own sombreros these days?), but it lets you know that Pe¤a is very committed to his style of music. And that commitment comes through quite clearly on 20 Herraduras de Oro, a best-of collection focusing on the singer's Fonovisa output of the '90s and 2000s. For the most part, Pe¤a's work isn't simply Latin pop with Mexican overtones -- there's nothing wrong with that approach, but Pe¤a is usually a lot more traditional in his outlook. That isn't to say that he is a total purist; some of the gems on this 2004 release (which offers a 20-song, 63-minute audio CD and a bonus DVD containing seven of Pe¤a's videos) were written by Mexican superstar Marco Antonio Solis, who is hardly a stranger to Latin pop. But if Pe¤a makes some pop moves on occasion, 20 Herraduras de Oro is tradition-minded more often than not. Pe¤a's cultural heritage contains people like Jos‚ Alfredo Jim‚nez, Alberto Vazquez, and Lola Beltr n, and he wears that heritage like a badge of honor on these inspired, emotional performances (many of which fall into the banda category, although Pe¤a gets into some mariachi and ranchera, as well). Pe¤a's Fonovisa output has been impressively consistent -- most of his Fonovisa releases are well worth owning -- but for novices who are seeking an introductory overview of his work, 20 Herraduras de Oro would be an enriching and logical starting point. ~ Alex Henderson
