When the Tejano gold-rush days dawned in the early "90s, the young La Fiebre were riding the crest. They combined tight musicianship, a dynamic stage show, and addictive, horn-fueled rhythms. The best stuff included hits like "Si Mañana Viene o No," "De Cantina a Cantina," and "Vestida de Color de Rosa." They also introduced power-pop Tejano ballads in "El Amor Se Acaba" and "Borrachos de Besos." But a nasty legal tangle in 1992 with its label EMI Latin lost the band precious momentum. By the time the smoke cleared in 1995, La Fiebre were back at ground zero and never recovered. Key players like trumpeters Eric Jimenez and Luis Ayala left. All the hits are here, but the fires don"t burn as hot. --Ramiro Burr
