What is "frenesi"

"Frenesí" is a musical piece originally composed by Alberto Domínguez for the marimba, and adapted as a jazz standard by Leonard Whitcup and others. The word frenesí is Spanish for "frenzy".

Frenesí is a Grammy Award - winning album by American singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt released on September 15, 1992 (delayed from its initial August date).

It was Ronstadt's third Spanish-language album. It reached number 193 on the Billboard album chart, #3 on the Top Latin Albums chart and #17 on the Tropic/Salsa chart. Three singles charted on the Hot Latin Tracks chart: "Frenesi" - at number 5, "Perfidia" - at number 7, and "Entre Abismos" at number 33.

At the 35th Grammy Awards, Frenesí won the Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album.

After many years out of print, this album was reissued - along with Linda's two Mariachi discs - in 2016.
