The tribute to Mexican legends Juan Gabriel, José José and Vicente Fernández at the 2024 Latin Grammys was worthy of applause. And that's exactly what happened during the 25th anniversary of the awards on Thursday (November 14).
First to take center stage at the Kaseya Center were Reik and Leonel García, who honored superstar singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel, who died in 2015, by performing his anthem “Hasta Que Te Conocí.” Their performance was so emotional that it brought people to their feet and even Karol G was seen singing along with him emotionally.
Then it was Carlos Rivera and David Bisbal's turn to take the stage and they did not disappoint. The pair evocatively sang the late José José's iconic song 'El Triste'. Next, it was Alejandro Fernández's turn to take the spotlight to honor his father, who passed away in 2021, by singing 'No Me Sé Rajar', giving the mariachi song a band twist and it really did everyone to dance along with his performance. Alejandro's version of his dad's classic will be part of it De Rey a Rey tribute album, due out next year.
One of the most exciting moments of the ceremony, without a doubt, the crowd roared and applauded the three acts back to back and stood throughout the set.
