Wikipedia article
"'Cielo rojo'" (Red Sky) is a huapango song written by Juan Zizar, a singer-songwriter from the Mexican state of Jalisco. It is one of Mexican singer Flor Silvestre's greatest hits and also one of her signature songs. She first recorded it in 1957 with the Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitln for the RCA Vctor label. Four years later, in 1961, she recorded a new version with the Mariachi Mxico of Pepe Villa for the Musart label. The success of her interpretation of this song became the breakthrough of her musical career. She sang it in the film 'El cicln' (1959), where it was used as a theme song, and as a duet with Luis Aguilar in 'Juan sin miedo' (1961).
