ALEJANDRO FERNÁNDEZ RETURNS TO UNITED STATES IN 2024 CONTINUING HIS FIESTAS PATRIAS TRADITION
(February 6, 2024) – Mexican music icon Alejandro Fernández announces his return to Yaamava’ Theater for Fiestas Patrias 2024.
Tickets go on sale starting Friday, Feb. 9 at 10 a.m. PT at YaamavaTheater.com.
This Thursday, Alejandro will be releasing his first duet of the year, joining Mexican cumbia Icons Angeles Azules with “La Cumbia Triste”; his first venture into this genre. The fusion of the rhythmic cumbia sounds and Alejandro’s powerful voice is sure to bring all fans to the dance floor. The song and video will be available starting this Thursday at 11pm ET on all platforms.
Throughout his career Alejandro has surprised his fanbase with his musical versatility in different genres. He is a 2x Latin GRAMMY winner and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, amongst other noteworthy recognitions. Fernández is the first Latin artist to take albums to the top of the sales charts for four consecutive decades (1990, 2000, 2010, 2020).
Alejandro has a long history of helping others through his music and shows. In 2023 he donated proceeds from his “Amor y Patria” US tour to the Friends of the National Museum of the American Latino (FRIENDS), a non-profit organization advocating for the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino.
Last October Alejandro was honored by US House of Representatives with a resolution and ceremony for contributions to Mexican music and Latino culture over the four decades of his career. It also recognized Fernández as a humanitarian for the long-lasting impact he has made beyond his music worldwide. The international artist has been instrumental in uplifting and uniting the Latino community through donating his time, resources, and art.
His 2021 US tour raised over $100,000 for “Families Belong Together” to unite immigrant parents and children separated at the US border. In 2020, he launched (along with a coalition of artists) the "Vota Por Nosotros" (Vote For Us) get-out-the-vote campaign, encouraging Latino voters to vote on behalf of our entire community in the November 3rd elections. The same year, Alejandro joined Mana’s Fher Olvera as the face of the “We Are Home” campaign calling for a fair and dignified immigration policy for the millions of Latino immigrants living in the US and again with Dr. Anthony Fauci in a call for the US Latino population to get vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.
