Juarez pay homage to one of Mexico’s all-time greats!
The Music of Mexico is an extremely diverse mix of different genres, performance styles and expressions. From the patriotic and love-centred nature of Ranchera, to the cheerful and fast paced Mariachi music, each style has played a role in shaping Mexico’s cultural identity. Throughout the years, we have been treated to the music of renowned artists such as Vicente Fernández, Paulina Rubio and Luis Miguel, but despite their legendary status, no one has managed to have quite the social impact of six-time Grammy nominated artist Juan Gabriel!
Nearly 6 years ago, Mexico mourned the passing of one of the most influential and innovative singers of our generation. Known for his flamboyant style and colourful personality, Juan Gabriel revolutionised the Mexican music culture and amassed a mass following in the process. “El Divo de Juárez” left an indelible mark on the country’s music industry and helped shape the modern state pop music. In 2015, Juan Gabriel was recognised to be one of the 30 most influential Latin performers in History by Billboard magazine, solidifying his legacy and forever etching his name in history!
To commemorate his memorable career, Juan Gabriel’s hometown team, Juarez FC, have dedicated a very special kit to the local legend. Inspired by the suit that Juan wore during his iconic concert at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City in 1990, the exclusive black-and-gold uniforms were worn during the team’s most recent clash against Chivas Guadalajara. The limited-edition kits feature details such as the artist’s portrait, his signature and other dedicated details. Apart from paying homage to the legendary songwriter, the shirts are also meant to unite the Juarez community with a single expression: Juan Gabriel is a Bravos!
The special shirts, worn in the game against Chivas can now be found online on our platform! The memorabilia is absolutely one-of-a-kind and represents an important part of Juarez and Mexico’s cultural heritage.
