Pedro Vargas aka The Continental Tenor was kind of the Tony Bennett of the Mexican music scene.... he had a long career (1920's through 1970's) but was never a true superstar like Jorge Negrete or Pedro Infante. This song was likely recorded in the late 50's... and is a reflection of the times, and very representative of his appearances on Lara's Noche Azul program. When this was recorded, Mexico was coming off a 25 year long, Post-Revolution industrial expansion with rapidly increasing Standards of Living... and a Mexican Revolution era generation at retirement age. This facilitated Mexico's social political shift towards the right... as that aging generation became increasingly Conservative. Additionally, the US (coming off a victory in WWII and a showdown against Comunism) at the time was at the height of its Influence around the world. Add these up, and its easy to see why Mexican music underwent such a fundamental shift embracing anticeptic, White mainstream American aesthetics and values while shunning Black music from the US & the Carribbean. This recording perfectly illustrates that fundamental shift that would impact most music in Mexico including Mariachi & Folk genres, as well as Jazz. Mujer is a Classic Bolero composed by none other than Agustin Lara and unlike other songs I have uploaded, this one is not dedicated his prostitue first love, instead its dedicated to his first wife Angelina Bruschetta... who inspired him to write an homage to all women.
