Cada año, la Biblioteca del Congreso selecciona 25 grabaciones para el registro con el fin de preservar grabaciones sonoras que son «cultural, histórica o estéticamente significativas» para la vida estadounidense.
Ayer miércoles 9 de abril, el Registro Nacional de Grabaciones de la Biblioteca del Congreso inmortalizó dos canciones latinas más: el himno ranchero de Vicente Fernández, «El Rey», y la balada country bilingüe de Freddy Fender, «Before the Next Teardrop Falls».
