Various tributes and cultural events are marking the tenth anniversary of the death of Mexican singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel, known as the ‘Divo de Juárez’. The commemorations include a wide range of media and live performances across Mexico, the United States, and Latin America.
In cinema, the documentary ‘Juan Gabriel: Mi Primer Bellas Artes’ has been released, featuring restored and previously unseen footage from his historic 1990 concert at the Palacio de Bellas Artes. Digital tributes are also underway, with Amazon Music launching a special tribute featuring a new version of ‘Así Fue’ performed by Thalía and Arthur Hanlon, alongside exclusive vinyl releases.
Live events include a massive 24-hour YouTube livestream, ceremonies in Ciudad Juárez where his family received the keys to the city, and public gatherings in Mexico City’s Plaza Garibaldi. The artist's enduring legacy is highlighted by his massive catalog of over 1,800 songs and his continued popularity among younger generations on platforms like TikTok.
