Vicente Fernández will not only be remembered as one of the interpreters of the vernacular music, since for more than 60 years of experience, he was also a man who gave himself to the world of charrería and Mexican traditions, so in his tribute and funeral did not lack charros or skirmishes .
Between the 15 thousand attendees at his mass wore people with hats and costumes typical of the art and discipline emerged from the equestrian activities. The Mariachi Azteca entertained the ceremony, and between the places skirmishes of Las Margaritas de Huentitán and Hacienda Los Colomos walked.
Before the religious farewell, which happened at 14: 00 hours last Sunday, screened a documentary about the life of the artist – who died on Sunday at the age of 81 years – with testimonials from family and friends, and from the same idol who founded his ranch The Three Foals in 1980.
Interviews about his life before fame, his rise and glory in the The music industry and her film appearances thrilled the audience, but the segments of some of her concerts drove her crazy, as she began to sing each of the hits at the top of her lungs.
After mass, in which Chente’s son, Alejandro Fernández , interpreted the c song “Volver, Volver” and gave words to the public, the singer’s remains were buried behind closed doors in his ranch, which the actor also used for his home, the show and the charrería.
Although the funeral was private, hundreds of fans settled along the fences of the property in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga in the hope of being able to see the ceremony from afar.
The tribute held at the VFG Arena lasted for 21 hours and in total was visited by 55 thousand people, even with fans from other countries.
