The first to take center stage at the Kaseya Center were Reik and Leonel García, who honored superstar singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel, who died in 2015, performing his anthemic song “Hasta Que Te Conocí.” Their performance was so moving that it got people on their feet, and even Karol G was seen singing along emotionally.

Then it was Carlos Rivera and David Bisbal’s turn to take the stage and they didn’t disappoint. The pair sang evocatively the late José José’s iconic song “El Triste.” Then it was Alejandro Fernández’s turn to take the spotlight to honor his father, who passed in 2021, singing “No Me Sé Rajar,” giving the mariachi song a banda twist, and it really got everyone dancing along to his performance. Alejandro’s version of his dad’s classic will be part of his De Rey a Rey tribute album, set to be released next year.
