Mexico's reigning vocal diva returns with 2005's HISTORIA DE UNA REINA. Known to dabble in everything from ranchera to pop to traditional Mexican folk, Gabriel's trademark is her unique, textured voice and her ever-impassioned delivery. HISTORIA, of course, showcases that voice to splendid effect, and Gabriel continues to sing each song as though it might be her last. Fortunately for her legions of fans, this album of stirring, dramatic performances bears repeated listening, so those "last songs" can go on and on.
