Alejandro Fernández was honored with the Premio Lo Nuestro a la Excelencia (Excellence Award) during the 2025 ceremony held at the Kaseya Center in Miami, a tribute that celebrated his expansive and influential career across various genres of Mexican music
His children Camila and Alex Fernández warmly introduced the Mexican legend, commending his ability to captivate hearts with a voice that has gracefully transcended genres — from ranchera to Latin pop, and romantic ballads to mariachi — over the course of more than three decades.
Dressed in traditional, elegant mariachi attire complete with a striking sombrero, Alejandro Fernández demonstrated the enduring appeal of Mexican musical heritage.
The medley of rancheras performed by Fernández, a tribute to his late, legendary father Chente, began with “Un Millón de Primaveras,” transitioned smoothly into the polka-driven “La Ley del Monte,” and culminated with the mariachi-fusion hit “Estos Celos.” The performance was a display of his vocal prowess and a vivid reminder of his contribution to elevating Mexican music on the global stage. During his performance, a candid shot captured Pepe Aguilar enthusiastically bobbing his head, visibly moved by the rendition.
The prestigious award was presented by Carín León, who handed the trophy to Alejandro Fernández amid cheers. In his acceptance speech, Alejandro expressed:
“This is an accolade that I deeply appreciate as it reflects the effort and perseverance put into my career. First and foremost, I thank my father, who I’m sure is throwing a party up there and would be immensely proud of this recognition. I also thank my mother, my children who are here today, my granddaughters, and my entire family. To Carlos, my lifelong companion, to my team from management, Alex, Jason, Octavio, and to Universal Music, my president Jesús López, Univision, and most importantly, to all my fans who have always supported me and shared my love for Mexican music.”
The 2025 Premio Lo Nuestro, with the theme “Uniendo Generaciones” (Uniting Generations), brought together a celebration of Latin music’s past, present, and future. Hosted by Laura Pausini, Thalia, and Alejandra Espinoza, the night was filled with memorable performances and accolades.
