El Toro Relajo


"El Toro Relajo" is a popular mariachi song written by Felipe Bermejo and has been recorded by several artists. Selena recorded the song in 1994 for the soundtrack of the 1995 film Don Juan DeMarco.

Critical reception

Enrique Lopetegui of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "But it's the two new Spanish ranchera songs, backed by El Monte's Mariachi Sol de Mexico, that are most impressive, as Selena effortlessly adapted to a difficult style she wasn't very familiar with, However Selena was sick during the recording, so her voice wasn't in good shape."

Linda Ronstadt version

Linda Ronstadt included this track on her album Mas Canciones in 1991.

Selena version

The song was included on the album Dreaming of You, recorded by Selena, and was released as the fifth single from that album. The single could not match the success of the previous singles in the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks, peaking only at number 24.
