Natanael Cano - Recordando Ariel Camacho (Live) (2025) Hi-Res

Natanael Cano is immortalizing the late Ariel Camacho in a new way. The Mexican corrido tumbado creator released his live albumRecordando a Ariel Camacho today (Mar. 28). The album was recorded alongside Camacho’s band, Los Plebes del Rancho, live last fall in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

One of Cano’s main inspirations is Camacho, who tragically passed away in a car accident at the age of 22 in 2015. “I remember it was one of the only times I’ve cried over someone. It always makes me cry,” he said in a recent documentary. “He’s the only person I’ve ever cried for in my life, honestly. I admired him, and I still do today. I never got to meet him.”

Despite never meeting his idol, the Mexican crooner is keeping Camacho’s memory alive by covering his most well-known hits. In Recordando a Ariel Camacho, Cano features “El Karma” as the album’s focus single, where he echoes Camacho’s signature hard-hitting sierreño style. “El Karma” was Camacho’s first single to reach a Billboard chart, giving him his first No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs in 2015, per the artist’s press release.
