VICENTE AND ALEJANDRO FERNÁNDEZ TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN IN A HISTORIC NEW VERSION OF “EL REY”
Miami, FL (February 17, 2026) – The single is part of an upcoming album in which renowned artists perform duets over the original recordings of the unforgettable Vicente Fernández.
Fate has brought them together once more. Vicente Fernández and Alejandro Fernández reunite in an emotional musical encounter, joining forces in a duet that is as unexpected as it is moving.
Father and son present a new version of the timeless classic “El Rey,” now arranged in a banda style that breathes new life into José Alfredo Jiménez’s legendary composition, one that Vicente Fernández turned into one of the most important anthems in Mexican music.
Produced by Eden Muñoz and recorded under the engineering of Áureo Baqueiro, this reinterpretation connects with new generations while preserving the essence that made the song eternal.
This release is part of an upcoming album in which major artists perform posthumous duets with the unforgettable Charro de Huentitán, using the original master recordings of his voice alongside entirely new, organic recordings from each collaborating artist. The project has been developed with meticulous production and the authorization of the Fernández family, ensuring an authentic and respectful tribute to his legacy.
This special duet proves that no one is better suited than the Fernández dynasty to keep alive a legacy that is deeply rooted in the history of Mexican music. Alejandro Fernández’s participation, recording alongside his father’s original voice, adds a profoundly emotional dimension to the project.
“Visiting the studio to create this new version of ‘El Rey’ was very meaningful to me, and something I truly enjoyed,” Alejandro Fernández shared on his Instagram account.
The release is accompanied by a lyric video featuring heartfelt images of both artists, reinforcing the nostalgic and celebratory spirit of the single.
Vicente Fernández remains “El Rey,” and this new version alongside Alejandro Fernández confirms that his musical legacy continues to be written. The single is now available on all digital platforms.
