Guatemalan singer Ricardo Arjona gifted a new yellow Volkswagen Beetle to his longtime collaborator, Pocho, in Mexico City. 

The two men first met decades ago when Pocho was a taxi driver, an encounter that inspired Arjona’s 1994 song ‘Historia de taxi’. Over time, their relationship evolved from driver and passenger to a professional partnership, with Pocho serving as a set designer for 12 of Arjona’s international tours.

Arjona shared the tribute on social media, expressing gratitude for Pocho’s loyalty and stating, “For us, you are a celebration.” Pocho expressed deep gratitude for their shared bond and years of employment.
