They wanted to cultivate a more cosmopolitan cultural taste, which mostly meant American, particularly when it came to movies. One reason for this disdain, of course, is that the middle and upper classes felt detached from Mexican nationalism. The child narrator notes the contempt the middle and upper classes had for Pedro Infante as they thought he had a “cara de chofer,” and that’s why he was so popular with their maids. José Emilio Pacheco highlights this fact in his short novel, Las batallas en el desierto (1981), which is set around 1950. Pedro Infante may have been the greatest singing and movie idol in the forties and early fifties, but his followers were mainly from the lower class. But therein lies the secret of his rise to superstardom. ![]() But whereas Negrete and Infante were pretty good actors who starred in films of the Mexican Golden Epoch that greatly influenced the development of national culture, Chente’s films were the classic celluloid churros, B-movies that plagued Mexican cinema until the nineties when filmmaking in Mexico began its renaissance. Photo: Ĭhente, as he came to be popularly known by his fans, had followed the same road taken by Jorge Negrete, Pedro Infante and Javier Solis: he had combined his singing talent with making movies. None of us, however, realized in those years the iconic stature that awaited Vicente Fernández, which would last well into the new millennium. His operatic, música ranchera had eclipsed Javier Solis’ romantic boleros rancheros that would always evoke childhood memories for me. But it was obvious that my buddy was part of the wide fanatical audience Vicente Fernández had gained in the seventies and eighties. I had left behind the mariachi-based music that I had grown up with during the two previous decades. Photo: Īt the time we had this discussion, I was a full-fledged punk rocker and could have cared less which of the two Mexican singers was better. As if to prove it, he turned up the volume so I could better appreciate the singing abilities of Vicente Fernández. Chente has a stronger voice and higher range. ![]() You’re wrong, said my friend somewhat annoyed as we drove through the streets of Oxnard, California, and “La ley del monte” blasted out of his car stereo.
