VICENTE & ALEJANDRO FERNÁNDEZ REUNITE ONCE AGAIN FOR A HISTORIC NEW RENDITION OF “EL REY”
Miami, FL (April 17, 2026) – Destiny has brought them together once again. Vicente Fernández and Alejandro Fernández star in an emotional musical reunion, joining forces in a duet that is as unexpected as it is moving.
Father and son present a new version of the timeless classic “El Rey,” now infused with a banda style that breathes new life into José Alfredo Jiménez’s legendary composition, a song Vicente Fernández transformed into one of the most important anthems in Mexican music history.
Produced by Eden Muñoz and engineered by Áureo Baqueiro, this reinterpretation connects with new generations while preserving the essence that made the song eternal.
The release is part of an upcoming album in which renowned artists perform posthumous duets with the unforgettable Charro de Huentitán, using the original master recordings of Vicente Fernández’s voice while creating entirely new and organic recordings alongside each collaborating artist. The project has undergone a meticulous production process and was fully authorized by the Fernández family, ensuring an authentic result that respectfully honors his legacy.
This special duet proves that no one is better suited than the Fernández dynasty to keep alive a legacy that remains deeply woven into the history of Mexican music. Alejandro Fernández’s participation, recording alongside his father’s original vocals, brings an especially emotional dimension to the project.
“Going into the studio to create this new version of ‘El Rey’ was incredibly meaningful for me, and something I truly enjoyed,” Alejandro Fernández shared on his Instagram account.
The release is accompanied by a lyric video featuring heartfelt images of both artists, further reinforcing the nostalgic and celebratory spirit of the single.
Vicente Fernández continues to reign as “El Rey,” and this new version alongside Alejandro Fernández confirms that his musical legacy continues to be written.
