“Rocio Durcal, the Spanish actress and singer who evolved from a spunky teen idol in the 1960s to become one of Latin music’s most sophisticated and distinctive song stylists in a recording career that spanned four decades, died Saturday at her home outside Madrid. She was 61.

Durcal, whose real name was Maria de los Angeles de las Heras Ortiz, had been battling cancer for the last five years. At a Sunday service in Spain, a mariachi performed in tribute to her work as a unique interpreter of Mexico’s traditional music, in particular songs written by composer Juan Gabriel. “
