Camila Fernández Talks Working With Same Writer as Her Late Grandfather on ‘Una Raya Más Al Tigre’: ‘I Told Him Through Tears That It Was an Honor’

Mexican singer Camila Fernández, granddaughter of Vicente Fernández and daughter of Alejandro Fernández, recently released her third album, Una Raya Más Al Tigre, under Universal/Fono. The album features a blend of traditional mariachi and modern arrangements, with nine tracks about love and heartbreak. One of the songs, "Una Raya Más Al Tigre," was written by renowned composer Martín Urieta, who also penned hits like "Mujeres Divinas" and "Acá Entre Nos" for Fernández's grandfather.

Fernández expressed her gratitude to Urieta, saying that it was an honor to have him on the album. Other tracks, such as "La De Rogar" and "Amarte Menos," emphasize themes of self-love and the balance between modernity and tradition. Fernández, 28, revealed that the album took about three days to finalize, as she received several songs from songwriter Mónica Vélez.

She emphasized that singing with mariachi is a significant responsibility as she aims to pass on Mexican music to new generations.
