Al Hurricane (Alberto Nelson Sanchez, July 10, 1936 – October 22, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, dubbed "The Godfather" of New Mexico music. He released more than thirty albums, and is best known for his contributions to New Mexico’s unique style of Spanish music. He received his nickname, Hurricane, from his mother. As a child, he would accidentally knock things over; the nickname became synonymous with his band, studio, and a recording label. <a href="https://www.last
