Over 170,000 People Relive a Juan Gabriel Concert in Mexico

Mexico City's Zócalo, considered the heart of the Aztec nation, hosted more than 170,000 people who were able to relive an emblematic Juan Gabriel concert from over three decades ago through giant screens.

Holding photos of the so-called 'Divo de Juárez' and signs alluding to the artist, Mexicans and foreigners gathered there to remember the man who made history in 1990 when he performed for the first time at the Palacio de Bellas Artes accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra.

The projection of this concert, coordinated by Netflix Latin America and the city's Secretary of Culture, included never-before-seen footage from the singer's personal archive, which is also part of the documentary series 'Juan Gabriel: Debo, puedo y quiero,' directed by María José Cuevas.

Often on the verge of tears, attendees danced, sang along, shouted, and raised their arms to several of the artist's most recognized songs, including 'Querida,' 'Amor Eterno,' 'Hasta que te conocí,' 'Se me olvidó otra vez,' and 'Te lo pido, por favor.'

Juan Gabriel, born Alberto Aguilera in Parácuaro, Michoacán, in 1950, passed away in 2016 in California, United States, having become one of the main references of Mexican popular music.
