Background notes
Archive material and source history
Mariano Rosas was born in Mexico City in 1912. He recorded "Volar," a song written by José Alfredo Jiménez, with producer Felipe Valdez in the 1940s. That track became his signature piece, known for its plaintive vocals and soaring melody.
His voice had a melancholic quality that drew from traditional Mexican music and influences like Agustín Lara and Pedro Infante. Beyond "Volar," he recorded other songs including "Sabor a Mí," "La Barca," "El Triste," and "Paloma Negra."
Rosas struggled with alcoholism and personal turmoil during his career, which sometimes overshadowed his musical work. Still, listeners connected with the raw emotion in his singing, particularly on recordings like "Volar."
