“Amor Bonito” is the first track on “Lydia Mendoza - First Queen Of Tejano Music,” available on Arhoolie Records.
From the liner notes:
Also included is “Amor Bonito,” one of the few songs that Lydia composed herself. In 1964, after her husband Fred had left for a visit to Denver, Lydia was inspired to write a song about the love she felt for her husband, and how his presence in her life was a beautiful blessing. “Amor Bonito,” went on to become one of her most popular numbers.
