Juan Gabriel con Mariachi Vol. II (also commercially distributed as Con Mariachi Vol. 2) is the seventh studio album by Mexican singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel. It was released on September 14, 1976, through RCA Victor.[1] The project marks the singer's second full-length foray into the traditional Mariachi and Ranchera genres, following his highly successful 1974 collaboration with Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán.[2] For this album, backing orchestration and instrumental sessions were performed entirely by the ensemble Mariachi México '70 de Pepe López, with musical direction, arrangements, and production overseen by maestro Jesús Rodríguez de Híjar.[1][3]
Musically, critics note that the album features a lighter and more festive tone compared to the starker, mournful nature of his previous folk records, incorporating varied sonic textures.[2] The production achieved widespread commercial success throughout North and Latin America, spawning several regional radio hits. The lead single, "Te Voy a Olvidar," became a commercial triumph and is widely anthologized as a cornerstone classic of his folk catalog.[2] Other tracks, such as "17 Años," "Siempre Estoy Pensando en Ti," and the rhythmic up-tempo ballad "Otra Vez Me Enamoré," secured steady chart rotation across Hispanic radio formats.[2][4] Over twenty years after its original release, the album was re-issued on compact disc and digital formats on July 30, 1996, by BMG Ariola to satisfy long-term market demand.[3]
