The set's contributors included Enrique Bunbury, Carla Morrison, Lila Downs, Julietta Venegas, and Los Lobos' David Hidalgo. (He composed the hit song 'El Jinete' when he was only eleven years old. In 2018, to mark the 45th anniversary of Jiménez death, Camilo Lara ( Mexican Institute of Sound) produced Un Mundo Raro: Las Canciones de José Alfredo Jiménez, a various-artists compilation of reworked, modern versions of the composer's songs. One of the giants of Mexican music, Jose Alfredo Jimenez was a musical genius who was reportedly composing songs by the times he was age nine. Vicente Fernandez has recorded several albums of Jiménez's compositions. He died in a Mexican hospital in November 1973. His best-known tunes include "Ella," "Cuatro Caminos," "La Que Se Fue," and "Guitteras de Media Noche." In 1968, Jiménez was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. After the breakup of Los Rebeldes in 1953, Jiménez continued to write songs about the joys of drinking tequila and the violence of bad relationships. The trio's appearance was a major success, and the group became extremely popular with a young audience. More than 100 of these Columbia tracks can be found in the Frontera Collection. The first is on Discos Columbia (CBS), where he recorded 121 of his own songs between 19, accompanied mainly by Mariachi Vargas. The success of the song resulted in Jiménez meeting with Mariano Rivera Conde, who booked Los Rebeldes to perform at his club. In 1950, the song was recorded by Andrs Huesca y Sus Costeos, becoming one of the first in a long line of hits for Jimnez. In 1950, Jiménez's composition "Yo" was recorded by Andres Huesca y Sus Costenos. In addition to performing with the trio, Jiménez sang with top-ranked artists such as Jorge Negrete, Pedro Infante, Pedro Vargas, and Miguel Aceves Mejia. The group's first break came when they were hired to become regular performers on Mexican radio station XEW. In the late '40s, Jiménez formed a trio, Los Rebeldes, with a pair of brothers, Enrique and Valentin Ferrusca. Jiménez began his musical career at the age of ten, when his parents' deaths resulted in his leaving school and starting a musical group with a friend, Jorge Gabilondo Patiño. José Alfredo Jiménez was the undisputed king of ranchera, the dramatic and sentimental singing style that originated in the cities of Mexico during the 1950s and '60s.
