Alejandra Guzman

Mexico's most straightforward rock chick, Guzman can deliver the kind of guitar crunch that you might have thought was reserved for Heart. Smoky-voiced and a favorite subject of tabloids, she can slow down her delivery when she wants, but she seldom veers into the sappiness reserved for pop. It seemed like her career had peaked around 1990 with the release of the hot-selling Eternamente Bella, but a Latin Grammy in 2002 aided her comeback.
