With more than 40 million records sold, Ana Gabriel is the best-selling Mexican female artist of all time.

The 68-year-old raspy-voiced singer also has a star on Hollywood Boulevard in front of Ballet Hollywood, and has big plans after wrapping the “Un Deseo Más” tour (a honeymoon with her wife).

Expect Gabriel—who is Mexican and Chinese—to run through all the hits, including “Simplemente Amigos” which is about loving your partner openly.

Tickets to see Ana Gabriel play Amalie Arena in Tampa on Friday, Nov. 15 are still available and start at $61.
