Many have recorded and played this song, in particular
Tríos huastecos,
Mariachis and Bolero
Trios. But the most famous version was made by
Miguel Aceves Mejía with his mariachi. With Huapangos or Son Huastecos, the
falsetto technique is used to great effect, as in
David Záizar's version. Quite a few versions of the song feature vocal gymnastics by whoever sings them, particularly the stretching of vowels such as the "e" sound in the
gentilic 'Malagueña' for as long as the singer can hold the note. Other known mariachi versions of the song were recorded by: •
Miguel Aceves Mejía •
