Frenesí (transl. Frenzy) is a studio album by American singer Linda Ronstadt. It was released on August 25, 2000, by Elektra and Rhino Records. A mambo and bolero album, Ronstadt covers Latin standards with arrangements done by Ray Santos. She was influenced to record the album following her participation of The Mambo Kings (1992) film. The record's productions were handled by Peter Asher and George Massenburg. The album was promoted with four promotional singles: the title track, "Entre Abismos", "Piensa en Mi", and "Piel Canela".
Following its release, Frenesí was met with mixed reactions from music critics. While Santos' arrangements were mostly praised, critics were divided on Ronstadt's delivery on the songs. Despite the reception, the record won Best Tropical Latin Album at the 35th Annual Grammy Awards in 1993. Commercially, it reached number 193 and two on the Billboard 200 and the Tropical Albums charts in the United States and number 79 in the Netherlands.
