Biography of Vicente Fernández
The history of Vicente Fernández began in Huentitán el Alto, where he was born on February 17, 1940. At the age of 8, after polishing the gift he had playing the guitar and after studying folk music, he revealed to his parents, Paula Gómez and Ramón Fernández, their illusion of being a musicianHe even prophesied that he would be like Pedro Infante, whom he usually saw in movies.
At age 20 he had his first artistic experiences. He played at restaurants and weddings. One day he decided to appear on the program La calandria musical. He earned 35 pesos. A year later, at 21, when he was engaged in various jobs as a bricklayer, waiter, among others, he decided to travel to Mexico City to try his luck.
His first group was Mariachi Amanecer, by Pepe Mendoza. Later, he went to Aguilar, by José Luis Aguilar and Felipe Arriaga. Simultaneously, he joined a mariachi music radio program: Amanecer Tapatío.
As with most outstanding artists, the beginning was not smooth. He had several setbacks, such as that of the record labels that denied him support. It only began to be on the map of the production companies when ranchero bolero Javier Solís passed away. Finally, he was able to sign a contract with CBS Mexico (now Sony Music). The first songs released were “Your way and mine”, “Cantina del Barrio” and “Perdóname”.
Along that path, of ascents and falls, he had the unconditional support of Cuquita Abarca, who was his partner since he was 23 years old and with whom he had three children: Vicente Fernández Jr., Alejandro and Alejandra Fernández.
In August of this year, he had a fall on the ranch from his home. This caused him to be operated on in an emergency. After the recovery process, he was discharged. However, shortly afterwards he had to be readmitted due to new complications in his health. This happened on December 1. Almost two weeks later, the Mexican legend ceased to exist, but his musical legacy is that extension that is preserved in the memory of his followers.
