 The 31st Annual Grammy Awards were held on February 22, 1989 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. They recognized accomplishments by musicians from the previous year. The album Canciones de Mi Padre was released in late 1987 and quickly became a smash hit. It stands as the biggest selling non-English language album in American record history. The title Canciones de Mi Padre refers to a booklet that the University of Arizona published in 1946 for Linda's deceased aunt, Luisa Espinel, who had been an international singer in the 1920s. The songs come from Sonora and Linda included her favorites on the album. She has credited the late Mexican singer Lola Beltrán as an influence in her own singing style, and she recalls how a frequent guest to the Ronstadt home, Eduardo "Lalo" Guerrero, father of Chicano music, would often serenade her as child with these songs.
From 1984 to 1991 the award was known as Best Mexican-American Performance. From 1992 to 1994 it was awarded as Best Mexican-American Album. In 1995 it returned to the title Best Mexican-American Performance. From 1996 to 1998 it was awarded as Best Mexican-American/Tejano Music Performance.
Linda sings with Lola Beltran, Daniel Valdes and her father Gilbert Ronstadt.
