From the back cover: Maria de Lourdes Perez Lopez was born in Mexico City, and has been singing since she was a child. Today she is immensely popular on radio and television and widely known in Latin America through her many tours. This is her first album for 'Capitol' of the World, and an exciting introduction it is to this glamorous artist.

From Billboard - February 13, 1961: From its Capitol of the World series, the label introduces a rich-throated Mexican contralto singer of pop songs of that nation, to the colorful and striking accompaniment of a great mariachi band known as Mariachi Jalisco. The attractive thrush bases her program on the idea of birds as a symbol of love with such translated titles as "Frivolous Swallow," "Weep, Dove, Weep," "Little Mountain Bird," etc. A most attractive performance.
