After 45 years in the music industry, at 70 years of age, Vicente Fernandez has not stopped doing his yearly tours to stay connected to his audience who he always wants to please. Known as "el rey de las rancheras," the audience is fulfilled as he sings the broad range of his own compositions or those of the well known singer/songwriter, Jose Alfredo Jimenez, as well as those by other songwriters who have left this earth before him. The fantastic professional mariachi that is on the stage with this icon is Mariachi Azteca, who the artist stated has been with him throughout his career.
Make no mistake, he can sing a ballad or two and he crooned 'A Mi Manera' (My Way) in a manner all his own.
Vicente Fernandez takes the center stage to entertain his audience and he loves it when the audience sings along with him or sings a chorus. He highly encourages the audience and no one holds back when everyone is singing in unison.
Not to leave any of his audience unattended, the artist goes from one side of the stage to the other the entire duration of his 3 hour performance. The audience members are diverse in age and no one stayed silent when the artist started to sing 'Volver, Volver' towards the end of the show. It has everyone on their feet. Some of the audience members were probably not even born when this song was released in the 70s, but they all knew the words and shouted their 'gritos.'
As can be seen from the jumbo screen behind the artist, the audience is thoroughly engaged.
Edith Marquez opened the show for Vicente Fernandez and sang an array of songs from her varied CDs over the years. The star began her career early as a child, then joined the pop group, Timbiriche, reaching international recognition. She began her solo career in 1998 and continued since. She looked stunning in the beautiful dress.
Before the musical entertainment began, the $2500 donation to the Hispanic Scholorship Fund (HSF) from Budweiser and Vicente Fernandez was highlighted, with the young student in the middle present to receive it.
