Cuarenta Cartas

A card-game song, credited to the composer Rosalio Loera in other artists' recordings.
Antonio Aguilar

We hold one upload under this title, and we could find nothing that ties it to Antonio Aguilar: neither Wikipedia article mentions the song, and we have no album, studio, date or personnel for it. The nearest item is his 2005 album Las cartas de Antonio Aguilar, and any link between the two is unconfirmed. The UCLA Frontera archive credits the composer as Rosalio Loera and lists versions by Los Alegres de Terán (Falcon GLP-03, a ranchera on Lo Mejor de Los Alegres de Terán Vol. III) and by Conjunto Atómico with Lorenzo Caballero (Anáhuac LP-811, a polka on Amanecer Ranchero Vol. 11), whose subjects are gambling, metaphor and love. It also lists versions by Los Madrugadores del Valle, Dueto Gregorio y María, Las Hermanas Fraga, Los Cuervos del Norte, Los Halcones de Salitrillo and Flaco Jiménez. It is a forty-card, card-game song; we do not know whether Aguilar recorded it for Musart or when.
