The Golden Voices of Mexico: Las Hermanas Aguila’s “Novias de Mexico”
The history of 20th-century Mexican music is rich with the beautiful, harmonizing voices of its legendary vocal duos. Among the most cherished and enduring of these groups was Las Hermanas Aguila (The Aguila Sisters). A wonderful example of their timeless artistry is the album “Novias de Mexico” (The Sweethearts of Mexico), released on the Trébol label with the catalog number TRLP-5083.
Sisters María de la Paz and María Esperanza Águila were a beloved institution in Mexico, with a career that began in the 1930s and spanned several decades. They were masters of the traditional “dueto” style, known for their perfectly blended harmonies, heartfelt emotion, and their interpretations of classic boleros, rancheras, and other forms of Mexican popular song.
This album, “Novias de Mexico,” is a perfect showcase of their signature sound. It is a collection of romantic and nostalgic songs delivered with the inimitable grace and charm that made them stars. The music is a beautiful representation of Mexico’s “Golden Age,” characterized by the clear, interlocking vocals of the sisters, typically accompanied by the rich, acoustic sounds of guitars and requintos.
Listening to this record is like stepping back in time to a more romantic era. The harmonies are intricate and precise, and the emotion in their voices is palpable, conveying the deep passion and feeling of the classic bolero. This is not just music; it is a piece of cultural history, a sound that was the heart and soul of Mexico for a generation.
For any fan of traditional Latin music, the great vocal duos of the 20th century, or the timeless, romantic sound of the bolero, this album from Las Hermanas Aguila is an essential and beautiful discovery. You can find this album on our website.
