“Hay Una Mujer” is Ariel Camacho’s heartfelt confession of being hopelessly spell-bound by a woman who seems just beyond reach. From the very first glance, her angelic face and magnetic personality capture his attention, and every time she looks back at him he feels she might secretly return the interest. The song paints a vivid picture of admiration that blends innocence with daring desire as he follows her steps, dreaming of holding her in his arms.
Camacho spices up the romance with the proverb-like line “La fruta es mejor del árbol que la que cae de por sí” – he believes the sweetest rewards come from reaching high rather than settling for what falls at one’s feet. In other words, he knows he is aiming high, but the challenge only makes the chase more exciting. Wrapped in a gentle Sinaloan groove, the lyrics celebrate bold love, self-confidence, and the thrill of pursuing something – or someone – truly special.
José Ariel Camacho Barraza (July 8, 1992 – February 25, 2015) was a beloved Mexican musician and singer-songwriter best known as the lead voice and guitarist of Ariel Camacho y Los Plebes del Rancho. Born in Guamúchil, Sinaloa, Camacho captivated audiences with his expressive twelve-string guitar playing and heartfelt vocals, earning nicknames like "La Tuyía" and "El Rey de Corazones." His innovative sound blended traditional regional Mexican genres such as corridos and narcocorridos with modern sensibilities.
Camacho's rapid rise to fame included hits like "Hablemos," "Te Metiste," and "El Karma," which climbed the Latin charts and solidified his place in contemporary Mexican music. Tragically, his promising career was cut short when he died in a car accident at age 22. Despite his early passing, Ariel Camacho remains a profound influence on the regional Mexican scene and continues to inspire new generations of artists.
