Morir de Amor (Eng.: Dying of Love) is a studio album by Mexican norteño-sax band Conjunto Primavera released in 2000. This album received a nomination for a Latin Grammy Award for Best Grupero Performance,[1] which was awarded to En La Madrugada se Fue by Los Temerarios, and became their first number-one album in the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.

Technically, this album is of re-recordings, except for “Morir de Amor” and “Mexico Ra, Ra, Ra”. Also, the album consists entirely of ballads; all with keyboard with the exception of “Mexico Ra, Ra, Ra”, because the song has accordion instead of the keyboard.

Enamorado de Ti of Vas a Conseguir from 1991,
Jugando al Amor of Me Nortie from 1993,
Dime, Dime, Dime of Me Voy, Me Voy from 1989,
