Alejandro & Camila Fernández Honor Their Family Legacy at Anaheim on De Rey a Rey Tour
“In this family, there are at least three of us who will fight tooth and nail to keep Mexican music alive,” Alejandro said on May 18 in Anaheim, Calif.

Alejandro Fernández couldn’t be prouder to carry on the family legacy through his children, including Camila Fernández, who is currently joining him on his De Rey a Rey tour across the United States.
The 27-year-old artist showcased great confidence and poise on Sunday (May 18) at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., where she performed songs from her repertoire like “Todo Todo,” “Pudimos Ser,” and “Se Cancela la Llorada,” earning a roaring ovation from the audience.
“Thank you for your applause,” said Vicente Fernandez’s granddaughter, elegantly dressed in a charro outfit. “Now I leave you with the new king of ranchera music who honors another king who was my grandfather, my father Alejandro Fernandez””
Also dressed as a charro, El Potrillo opened his set with his father’s classic “No Me Sé Rajar,” included in his tribute album De Rey a Rey (meaning From King to King).
“I want to tell you that I was born with two blessings: the first, being born in Mexico; the second, being born a Fernández,” expressed the superstar. “Let’s celebrate together the legacy of the great Charro de México the way he would have liked — singing his songs at the top of our lungs.”
The setlist included classics like “Lástima Que Seas Ajena,” “Estos Celos,” “El Rey,” “Volver, Volver,” “De Qué Manera Te Olvido,” “Por Tu Maldito Amor,” and more.
In a heartfelt moment, the father and daughter duo performed “Fue Un Placer Conocerte” and “Siempre Estoy Pensando en Ti,” paying tribute to Juan Gabriel and Rocío Dúrcal, who used to sing those songs together. The tender glances and undeniable connection between Alejandro and Camila, along with their beautiful vocal harmonies, deeply moved the fans, who applauded nonstop.
“I want you to know that in this family, there are at least three of us who will fight tooth and nail to keep Mexican music alive, and we carry it deeply in our hearts,” said Alejandro Fernández, also referring to his son Alex.
And while the show serves as a tribute to his father, some Alejandro’s biggest hits couldn’t be left out, including “Me Dediqué a Perderte,” “Si Tú Supieras,” “Caballero” and “Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti,” which was originally recorded with Christina Aguilera but performed during the concert with his daughter Camila.
The De Rey a Rey tour, which continues on May 23 in Salt Lake City, Utah, includes stops in Denver, Chicago, Miami, New York, El Paso, and Las Vegas (for Mexican Independence Day celebrations), before wrapping up on September 21 in San Diego, Calif.
