Eterno

Born on January 7, 1950, in Parácuaro, a municipality located in Michoacán, Mexico, Juan Gabriel rose from difficult circumstances to break barriers in music and eventually step onto the stage of Mexico’s acclaimed Palacio de Bellas Artes, the first pop artist to do so, and the only artist to appear three times during his career.

 During Juan Gabriel’s 45-year career, which produced over 1,800 songs, 32 studio albums and three live albums (all at Bellas Artes), he sold over 100 million records, with the best- selling album of all time in Mexico, and collaborated with 800 different artists in seven different languages.

Incredibly, during the last two years of his life, Juan Gabriel scored four Number 1 Latin albums, including Los Dúo (2015), which was certified Platinum in the US and 2x Diamond in Mexico. 

Many of his songs are considered part of Mexico’s cultural heritage, such as ‘Amor Eterno’ (Eternal Love), ‘Querida’ (Dear One), ‘Hasta que te conocí’ (Until I Met You), ‘Abrazame Muy Fuerte’ (Hold Me Tight), ‘Te Lo Pido Por Favor’ (Please Ask You), ‘Te I Still Love You’, ‘Así Fue’ (That's How It Was), ‘Por qué me hizo Llorar’ (Why Do You Make Me Cry?), ‘El Noa Noa’ (The Noa Noa) and ‘No Tengo Dinero’ (I Have No Money).

Eterno is the latest Mariachi album from Juan Gabriel. The album features never heard before vocals recorded by Juan Gabriel before his passing that are now backed by newly recorded Mariachi music. 

The album was produced by Guillermo Hernández Galicia, who served as Juan Gabriel’s mariachi and live music director for over 25 years. All songs on the album were written by Don Alberto Aguilera Valadez.
