Freddy Fender Live RANCHO GRANDE - BEFORE THE NEXT TEARDROP

[ScottMacFie]

My family is Scots-Irish Southerners. My dad bought this album in 1974, and we listened to it all the time, along with the Everly Brothers, Elvis (of course!), Beatles, Carpenters, Willie, Hank, Patsy Cline, etc.

Freddy Fender is a Saint, and his music touched our lives--I don't care what he spoke. He was and always will be an important part of American Country/Western/Folk/Tex-Mex music.

God rest his sweet soul.

[DannyShaw3388]

the instrumental part wasn't too good

[diegoolivarez1]

@clyde21641- But yes, born of Mexican parents to go on and serve in the Marines to then become one of the greatest artists of his time, he was a great Mexican-American!

[diegoolivarez1]

@clyde21641- Don't project your feelings at me! My message was clear and straight to the point. The only one throwing words like 'curse' and 'offended' here is you. I merely was bringing up the fact that there's a difference between race and nationality.

[clyde21641]

What difference does it make, Mexican or Gringo, we are all Gods Children. This is one gringo that loved his talent and I hope to meet him someday in heaven.

[qualqui]

@clyde21641 Its sad the racism i have found here,....because he speaks spanish he's mexican,..not! I knew a beautiful mexican american lady from abiquiu, new mexico, she spoke fluent english and spanish as most new mexicans do, descendants of pueblo tribes converted to christianity and taught spanish. We are all one, totally agree with ya good man! =)

[qualqui]

@clyde21641 Oops, noticed a blooper, i said most new mexicans,...i meant those of mixed ancestry,....pueblo indian, meshikas and spanish.

[clyde21641]

This man has a talent only God gives!!!!!!!!!1

[papapulu]

este pinche lavaplatos se parece a ron jeremy hahaha cree que proque sus papas eran unos putos espaldas mojadas puede cantar musica mexicana esta pendejo puto esclavo de los gringos XD

[GeneRoberts1961]

@papapulu Joe.

[diegoolivarez1]

@salonvictoria- Freddy Fender was 100% American. He was born in America, and served in the Marines. Just because somebody speaks Spanish doesn't make them Mexican.

[Oaxaquita1000]

@diegoolivarez1 haha you sir are an idiot. His parents are MEXICAN which makes him a chicano he is MEXICAN-AMERICAN. He is obviously proud of his heritage.

[diegoolivarez1]

@Oaxaquita1000 His parents may have been Mexican, that doesn't change the fact that he was born in America and served HIS country in the Marines. Did you not realize that American is a nationality, not a race? It's funny how somebody so mentally deficient can question intelligence, LOL!

[clyde21641]

@diegoolivarez1 He had a great talent and whats wrong with being a Mexican !!!!! He was even if he was borned here, Mexican is only a Nationality not a curse, Most Mexican friends I have are proud of their heritage and not offended by the word Mexican as you seem to be. . In fact I have some in my family and whats wrong with that? I was raised in South Texas and Pecos Tex , I am very familar with the Mexican people and speak Spanish pretty well, so maybe I Know something.

[msntillmig]

Rotterdam Country Festival ......When?????? (Överförd av coockiestv den 13 dec 2007)

He died October 14, 2006 :)))))))))

Freddy Fender (June 4, 1937 – October 14, 2006), born Baldemar Garza Huerta in San Benito, Texas, United States, was a Mexican-American Tejano, country and rock and roll musician, known for his work as a solo artist and in the groups Los Super Seven and the Texas Tornados.

[qualqui]

@msntillmig What?!!! Freddy Fender has died, October 14, 2006, that was 5 years ago, where in his native Tejas?Well, now he's playin' his BEAUTIFUL MUSIC for the Big JC!!! = )

Freddy Fender(Baldemar Garza Huerta) rest in peace.

[yeniavila32]

aya en el rancho grande aya donde vieve

[weezlemum]

Thank you for bring back so many great memories! Learned to 2-step to this song.. :)

[Bobby58big]

Alla en el rancho grande ...

Viva Mexico...!!!

[Rudeinfw]

When I was stationed in Germany, I went to some festival in Munster, Germany and heard this song at a bar. I think its funny how Tejano was influenced by German "folk"? music. Pretty cool pretty cool.

[BigMommanTX]

We played this at my dad's funeral. It was one of his favorite songs.

[imme246810]

I love this guys sound...I live in the surround area of Jambo In The Hills....and boy does he have a great musical history....He is 1 of a kind

[pleomax75]

apenas hoy lo vvengo conociendo y m entero que ya murio =(

[vista716]

I love freddie fender singing...cant speak any spanish, but love rancho grande.

there is nothing better than before the next teardron falls....I almost cry when I hear this.

[Rudeinfw]

Voodooglowskulls does a really good version of this. I hardly ever like covers either.

[etbella3]

@Rudeinfw They are my favorite -- the Voodooglowskulls. We come from the same place. And never left. You can check out, but you can never leave.

[oldcodyjr]

Glad I speak Spanish so I can sing along with his Spanish lyrics. Me gustaria his musica mucho. Wish I could have seen him perform.

[serafin731]

alguien me puede decir como se llama una cancion que le canta a san luis potosi.

[Northtide]

When I listen to Freddy I start craving a "Cruz Blanca" beer !!! And REAL Mexican food. I was there when he first got started and was taking a lot of ribbing from the rest of the country crowd. They were teasing him about his name. That is why he took the stage name . NO body though a bunch of red necks would listen to his music with a Mexican name. Little did they know how GOOD he was.

Thanks for the post. makes me home sick.

[catrashoo]

This guy was so great !!!

[senoritasexy]

I love Freddy Fender!!!!

[spiot160]

claro MEXICANO EN TIERRA MEXICANA.

[bulletje1948]

[o56kid]

@m00se321 fuck the 1%ers. they can fend for themselves fine enough no??. . .

[kibitzer1000]

Me gusta esta cancion! Bravo!

[oldbearswitch]

@1212 magic man, WTF, this is traditional, it sure as He__ not just a song of your "boy" Negrete ! You like him , fine, but dont dis FF, My abuleitos were singing this song almost 100 years ago.

[mendija808]

All his songs remind me of days long past when living with family in Spanish Bay, Puunene, Maui in the 1970's! Freddy Fender you are still a hit here in Hawaii!

[andrewr62]

RIP Freddy. I was fourntate to see him with the Texas

Tornados in Saratoga California. They blew the place

away.

[Annie293]

I never knew this was his song. Nice song!

[1212MagicMan]

@Annie293 NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN! This is guy sucks ass. This is Jorge Negrete's song. The most famous, and idolized singer in Mexico. Don't ever disrespect him again.

[Annie293]

@1212MagicMan Lol sorry ... I don't disrespect Jorge Negrete ... I don't even know the guy. How can I disrespect someone I don't know. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

[1212MagicMan]

@Annie293 no problem i was just kidding. But seriosly hear jorge negretes song. its much better

[Mariasuzannaandrade]

muitas gracias senhor obrigado Luis Salsa

[WhiteDogTherapy]

I miss you, mi amigo. One of the best always.

[missfiveday]

this song always makes me go ayeyeyeyeye

[aquienleimporta1]

DAMN HE WAS GOOD!!!

[theresacamero]

The live performance is way better than the recording...........

[47oregirl]

Had the pleasure of seeing Freddy 6 times in Colorado, once on my birthday and he squeezed my hand when he left the stage that nite. My ex also asked someone if they would sign the picture on the program and everyone in their dressing room at that time did for him. My father-in-law loved El Rancho Grande and whenever I hear it, especially by Freddy, it brings back lots of wonderful memories. Thank you for this "double-good" video!

[ratfinkdc]

thanks so much!..awesome!

[jamminjoeus]

I played this song in a dixieland band in Laughlin NV

[medicinecrow65]

Two of Freddy's greatest. I often wondered if Freddy had a good internal laugh when he sang Rancho Grande to an audience of non spanish speakers. Have a spanish speaker translate the lyrics and you will see what I mean! Hihi! Love the chicano Elvis look he had goin' during his hay day and how 'bout that 'fro man!

[jws54]

@medicinecrow65

He says we will soon take everything from the Norte' and make it ours, and we will start by sending all your money Sud to help more come Norte', and then we will rip off your heads and shit down your necks, you fucking gringos and gringas,

fuk you to hell and back while we rape your daughters and kill the white man...

hey baby "que Paso"

[belizeambushgal]

@jws54 lol que paso??? u got un poco felecidad. lol

RobsnVegas:

Te suplico perdones mi falta de sensibilidad, no quise herir tu orgullo. Te felicito a ti y a todo tu pueblo por ese ejemplo de civismo democratico que le dieron al mundo en su pasada eleccion presidencial, Ojala tods aprendieramos de esa democracia suya.

[luvperu1]

My next teardrop is ready to fall!!

[RobsnVegas]

malako,In 2031 we will have a hispanic president ? Maybe, but who cares ? The one we have now is Black, and so what ? The same money men, bankers/wall street, own him just like Bush. I've been to many parties with my Mexican wife's family, and been the token white. Some parties have 50 to 60 people, and she is the one trying to get me to leave at the end of the night. Because I'm have a great time. I always have a great time. Your being a racist is a waste of energy. Luv Freddy

[islandguy911]

you tell him buddy. no one should be talking crap on this video. so give it to him, I got your back. ;)

[edarotag84]

We miss you my old friend, we remember all the times you met us up in Austin.

[kachina333]

you cant help but love this guy, what a performer!! what an amazing life he lived. simply great !!

[malako31416]

dejame decirte robertomalo que los gringos aprecian mucho la cultura hispana tanto que en el 2031 E.U. tendra un presidente de origen latino o mexicano.

[malako31416]

con esta rola gane muchos centavos cuando tendria unos 3 o 4 años, aunque no podia hablar bien que la cantaba
