Jaime Camil on playing the King of Rancheras in ‘El Rey, Vicente Fernández’ | ABCNL

[@CaptainMarvel007]

First of all, my appreciation to ABC News for including this story as part of the Hispanic Heritage Month. Listening to Jaime Camil interview, that Vicente Fernández was more of the generation of his parents and not so much his, that’s not absolutely accurately. I am a bit younger than Jaime and I grew up listening to his music. Of course, he was already famous when I first watched his movies and had heard some of his iconic songs. Still, he had a very long music career, not only our parents had the opportunity to listen to his music, but us children did too. Perhaps Jaime was into a different time of music, as he’s more from the city. The people from the country listen to Vicente’s music all the time.

[@lissyalcala7729]

Exactly. I was raised on Chente, Ramon Ayala, Antonio Aguilar, Pedro Infante ,Chelo, and the list goes on ..

[@cristalsanjuan795]

Jaime Camil is not saying he wasn’t famous in any other eras, he is saying that Vicente Fernandez peak of becoming famous and being recognized is his parents era!

[@CaptainMarvel007]

@@cristalsanjuan795 that’s not what I disagreed with his statement, here’s what I disagreed with Jame quote: “Vicente was more of an artist for my parents not so much for my generation” 2:17 Chente’s music had as much influence on my parents generation as it had for mine. I was in elementary school when I learned the lyrics for one of his iconic songs, “La Ley Del Monte” Also, during my study abroad, we made a trip to Central Mexico and all the international students sang Chente’s popular songs, such as “El Rey; Volver, Volver. This is why I don’t agree with Jaime, Don Vicente Fernández was a multigeneration artist! People that grew up en los pueblos and ranchos would attest to it, because his music would be played at fiestas and continue to play to this day!

[@elidavid7620]

Vicente is from the Golden era, he only transcended through the years. Jaime Camil wasn't incorrect.

[@CaptainMarvel007]

@@elidavid7620 That was not the point, his music not only reached our parents generation, but ours too and beyond.

[@V33-o1t]

I love Vicente ❤it is a great show happy that Netflix did this for all Mexican’s and everyone in the world that appreciate true talent and we all miss him so much but he lives in memory his music will be forever no one can ever be him or sound like him

[@BeardnScars]

Vicente was played in my home since I was still in the womb and when he died I cried all day. Lmao. I’m only 28 😂. But still, the artistic and powerful and elegant guy was almost an idol for plenty of Mexicans. I LOVE the show. And I’m glad they put so much time and cinematography was literally excellent. If you haven’t seen it watch it it’s really the best.

[@dora966]

Jaime did an excellent job of both acting and singing. Jaime and the series should win both categories of an Emmy & Grammy for best lead actor and original singing voice used in a series. All the actors who portrayed Vincent’s life.

Jaime Camil has been one of my favorite Hispanic actors since I was a kid (I knew who he was before he was on Jane the Virgin); Some of the novelas that I saw him in were La Mujer de Madera, La Fea más Bella and of course Por ella soy Eva. I can’t wait to watch the new Netflix series El Rey

[@jimmytimmy3680]

It is ok. One thing that bothered me was that the show is explaining 3 different timelines of when he was a kid, when he is a teen, and when he started to sing. It goes back and forth too many times it is annoying. Besides that, I loved learning about the life of El Rey.

[@lovelee0011]

Its already on Netflix

Jaime is an incredible actor and great singer. He did an amazing job in this portrayal.

[@odessared8891]

That was an absolutely brilliant series… I don’t watch TV, but recently retired and was looking for shows to watch while I decompressed and transitioned to retirement… I found El Rey on Netflix, not knowing it was brand new, I binge watched the epis.. The acting, setting, and costuming was done so well that you really felt like you were right there with them! My daughter’s Abuelita would play Vicente’s music and I loved it back then. This wonderful series chronicles his life’s many challenges and successes as he rose from humble beginnings to become a beloved star and icon…such a beautiful and engrossing story of family, sacrifice, love, loyalty, friendships, struggles, and success 🤩💖 The ending personified his glorious achievements … I cried at the end… Not out of sadness but out of God’s glory and happiness for Vicente and his family 💖💖 … #ElReyVicenteFernández

I had know idea it was Jaime who was playing him. I kept looking and looking at his handsome face and kept thinking 🤔 to myself, “Where have I seen this man before?” 🤔🤔🤔🤔and 💥 Bam 💥 Here he is. Mr Guapo himself 🥳🎉👏🏼🥳🎉👏🏼🥳🎉👏🏼🥳🎉👏🏼Bravo, Bravo🥳🎉👏🏼🥳🎉👏🏼🥳🎉👏🏼I didn’t think it was going to hit me so hard when he sang “Volver, Volver.” That was my Father’s all time Favorite song of Vicente Fernandez. I started to cry 😭😭😭😭because my father is no longer here, with us on earth 😭😭😭 He passed away back in 1997, but I know my father would have loved seeing this series about one of his favorite singers.

... the year is June 1972 as US Navy sailor, the USS Coral Sea is due for a port call into Hong Kong. I tagged along with some older salties that are going to show me the places to go. After quick tour of the downtown it's time for some food and as we nearing the restaurant, I catch the sounds of what swear I hearing Vicente Fernandez singing Volver Volver. Yes it was; the jukebox was blaring out Vicente Fernandez ... in Hong Kong. I have never forgotten that day.
