Vicente Fern\u00e1ndez is collaborating with Caracol Televisi\u00f3n to produce a series based on his life story.<\/p>\n
Across 36 episodes, the super-series will tell the story from when “Chente” was a kid in Jalisco to when he became an icon of Ranchera music. It is being filmed in locations in Mexico and the U.S.<\/p>\n
Gonzalo C\u00f3rdoba, president of Caracol Televisi\u00f3n, said: “For some years now, at Caracol Televisi\u00f3n, we have been committed to searching and producing local stories to make them universal. For decades, popular Mexican music, culture and movies became the top Latin American stories of traveling throughout the territory and, perhaps, the most iconic and complete story arc of the great Vicente Fern\u00e1ndez. We know him as a star of music, film and public life, but we do not know his story. That is why, and with the firm intent that it now be not only a Latin American story but one that is universal, we decided to tell it and take the icon, his life and his music to all the corners of the world. This series will wear the stamp of Caracol productions, feature mostly Mexican talent and the prestige we have given our productions. Though it is the first of our series made in Mexico, we are confident it will not be the last.”<\/p>\n
Lisette Osorio, Caracol Televisi\u00f3n’s VP of international business, added: “I feel so proud to be a part of this historical moment taking the life of this magnificent artist and human being to the screen. Our distribution efforts have allowed us to take stories of great significance and relevance all over. We now take on the great responsibility to internationalize an artist’s life story whose musical impact has consolidated as a legacy in many cultures. We thank the Fern\u00e1ndez family for their trust in Caracol Televisi\u00f3n, a company that has always taken on grand challenges, becoming a pioneer in the industry. With the life of Vicente Fern\u00e1ndez, we will make a series worthy of the man who inspires it.”<\/p>\n
Dago Garc\u00eda, Caracol Televisi\u00f3n’s\u00a0VP of production, said: “Caracol Televisi\u00f3n has been the pioneer and leader in the recent production of biopics. Our projects have dealt with historical figures, sports stars, legends of music and even criminals who stained our country with pain. These stories have left an indelible mark on the reconstruction of the cultural imaginaries in which our society sees itself. We could not leave aside speaking about perhaps the most important and influential icon of popular Latin American music for this and other reasons. Producing the story of Vicente Fern\u00e1ndez was not only an aspiration but a duty for our company.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
