De Mi Alma Latina (also known as From My Latin Soul) is a 1994

Latin music album by Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album of the year.[1] Most of the tracks on the album are medleys of, in the words of one author, "some of the Latino world's most memorable melodies."[2] The only new composition on the album, "De México a Buenos Aires", was written by Domingo's son Plácido Domingo Jr. All the songs are in Spanish, except for "Manhã de Carnaval" and "Aquarela do Brasil", which are in Portuguese. Domingo also used "De Mi Alma Latina" and "From My Latin Soul" as the names for some of his subsequent Latin music concerts.[3][4]
In 1997, he released a follow-up album entitled De Mi Alma Latina 2.
