Lupillo Rivera on Vicente Fernández: “For me he was always a teacher”
Lupillo Rivera, who is promoting his new song “La defeat”, said that the admiration he felt for Vicente Fernández was such that it never occurred to him to think of doing a duet with him, because he did not believe he was up to his level.
“For me, Vicente Fernández has always been the idol of Mexico. Without disrespecting Pedro Infante, to Javier Solis, to Jorge Negrete. For me, he was always a teacher. So, as a student, I said ‘you are the teacher and my respects’. The truth would never have encouraged me to do a duet with him. The label asked us several times and I didn’t want to. It is a true respect “, he expressed.
