Our communities are in mourning over the death of legendary ranchera singer Vicente Fern\u00e1ndez, who<\/span> passed away Sunday<\/span><\/a> (December 12) at the age of 81.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt was an honor and a great pride to share with everyone a great music career and to give everything for his audience,\u201d a statement read on his social media. \u201cThank you for continuing to applaud, thank you for continuing to sing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Colleagues throughout our communities were quick to share their thoughts about the death of \u201cEl Charro de Huentit\u00e1n.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cToday is a difficult and painful day for the world of music with the loss of a Mexican titan who, for decades, carried his roots and culture in style throughout the world. Don Vicente Fernandez leaves us a legacy of songs, films and new generations that will follow his musical mission and raise his name with each note they sing. My condolences to his loved ones and each of the people who love and respect him. I am one of his great fans and I will continue to love, respect and admire him for the great person he was and the deep traces he leaves in history.\u201d<\/span><\/p>
