Va Por Ellos is a studio album released by Spanish singer Bertín Osborne in 2008. [1] The disc was recorded at SonicProjects studio in Miami, Florida. [2]

The disc features covers of songs made famous by Pepe Aguilar, Ricardo Montaner and Vicente Fernandez, among others. A ranchera album, Osborne is accompanied by members of the U.S.-based troupe Mariachi Mexico Internacional Si Señor on the disc. [2] This marks Osborne's third ranchera-styled disc, following 2000's Sabor A México and 2002's Mis Recuerdos, both Top 10 albums in Spain. [3] "I grew up listening to mariachi and ranchera music, listening to Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete," Osborne told ABC (newspaper) in Madrid during promotion of Va Por Ellos. "I'm very tied to Mexico. It's like my second home." [4]

The disc was sold exclusively through El Corte Inglés locations in Spain. [4] All proceeds from sales were donated to Fundación Padre Garralda. "The benefits are directed toward a foundation that helps children who have not had as easy as I or my children," Osborne told magazine Escaparate de Sevilla. "Music for me now is a hobby, not a profession, and I intend to approach it in this manner." [5] The following year, Osborne and his wife, Fabiola Martínez Benavides, formed their own humanitarian organization, Fundación Bertín Osborne, which aids children with brain injuries. [6]
