There the widow of the “Charro de Huentitán” was proud of the great musical legacy left by the singer, for which she did not hesitate to thank the public for continuing to remember him as she does every day.
And it is that, as revealed during a press conference prior to the unveiling, she is still communicating with the interpreter of songs like “Acá Entre Nos” and “Estos Celos”, especially when she is at the Rancho los 3 Potrillos where His remains have rested for just over a year.
“For me, I don’t feel the absence very great, because I think it’s hereI have it at the ranch, so I go out and talk to him, and I tell him ‘if you want to go out, get out, this is your house, you can walk wherever you want’“, he confessed.
During the talk before various media, Doña Cuquita spoke about what it means for her and the whole family that this type of tribute to the singer continues, where she stressed the importance of continuing to be remembered through her songs.
“As long as we listen to Vicente, Vicente will never die. Vicente will always be with us, “he commented, in addition to assuring that no matter how much time passes,”he will always remain number one“.
He took advantage of the moment to thank not only the public present, but also addressed the organizers and all those who made possible the placement of the monument that reflects the icon of the ranchera song mounted on a horse, this being a exact replica of the one that was placed next to his grave.
“Thank you all for your attention and support. It gives me great pleasure to see so many people who love Vicente. Thanks to all the organizers who made this sculpture possible here, in this beautiful square. Thanks to all the Latinos, and may they continue to love Vicente the way I love him. Thank you, thank you, thank you”, said the mother of Alejandro Fernández, who arrived accompanied by her daughter Alejandra and her grandchildren Valentina, Emiliano and América.
