Though she possesses the resounding voice of an international pop star, Oaxaca-born singer Nadia remains remarkably true to her musical roots. Her albums mostly feature variations on traditional mariachi and norteña music performed in a contemporary style. Her self-titled 2003 debut found considerable success in her native Mexico, while 2004s Contigo Si found Nadia experimenting with elements of American Ru0026B, as well as international Latin pop styles such as salsa. A Puro Dolor, released in 2008, was a more traditional work that featured Nadia performing classic Tejano tunes and new compositions supported by a full mariachi ensemble. ~ James Steiner
