Camila Fernández is stepping further into her family’s legendary musical heritage with the release of her third mariachi album, *Una Raya Más Al Tigre*. Performing under the name "La Fernández," the Mexican songstress is keeping the iconic family name buzzing with her latest collection released through Universal/Fono. The new project features nine tracks exploring love and heartbreak while staying deeply rooted in traditional ranchera sounds. The title track carries an extra layer of emotion for the singer because of its deep ancestral ties. The song was penned by legendary composer Martín Urieta, the famous songwriter behind massive classics like "Mujeres Divinas" and "Acá Entre Nos," both made immortal by her late grandfather, ranchera titan Vicente Fernández.

She felt the project was missing a pure, traditional mariachi piece and immediately knew she needed to record it. Only after laying down her vocals did she learn about the songwriter's identity and his history with her family patriarch. The realization brought the singer to tears when she got the chance to speak with Urieta directly. She shared how deeply moved she was to work with the same creative mind who helped shape her grandfather's legendary repertoire. As the daughter of Latin music superstar Alejandro Fernández, carrying on this generational tradition represents a major high point in her growing career.

Rincón crafted arrangements that maintain the authentic soul of Mexican mariachi while incorporating slick, contemporary elements designed for today's streaming era. With *Una Raya Más Al Tigre*, "La Fernández" demonstrates that ranchera music is truly in her blood. By blending historic connections with fresh production, she continues building her own path while honoring one of the most celebrated dynasties in Latin music history.
