Two Dynasties, One Tradition: Majo Aguilar & Alex Fernández Announce Historic Joint Tour

Antonio Aguilar’s granddaughter & Vicente Fernandez’s grandson will also launch a new collab “Cuéntame” this week.

Majo Aguilar and Alex Fernández will be in charge of uniting for the first time the two most important dynasties of ranchera music: the Aguilar and Fernández families.

Antonio Aguilar’s granddaughter and Vicente Fernández’s grandson have announced a tour together for the fall, which they have named Dos Dinastías, Una Tradición (Two Dynasties, One Tradition). In addition to the tour, they also announced a new collaboration, “Cuéntame,” which will be released today (Aug. 8).

“It is very common that in this type of concept there are egos or fights over credits,” Alex Fernández told Billboard Español. “Here everything will be equitable we have an excellent relationship and above all communication.”

“Here no last name outweighs the other,” added Majo Aguilar. “It will be a show where we will take a little piece of Mexico to the United States, so that the public can feel the party and the joy of Mexican music, singing the songs of their idols Don Antonio and Don Vicente, as well as our own songs.”

The tour will kick off Oct. 25 in Savannah, Georgia and make stops in cities in Tennessee, North Carolina and California, with the first leg ending Nov. 30 in Redwood City. More dates will be announced in the near future, according to a statement.

As for the upcoming release, it is a heartbreak ranchera penned by Majo Aguilar that will also be the song that identifies the tour. “Tell me how it feels to know that you won’t touch my body/ And that no matter how hard you try our relationship is dead/ There’s no turning back,” goes a verse in Spanish.

The music video — which will serve as the intro to the show — was filmed in Monterrey, Mexico under the direction of Gil Cerezo, vocalist and creative director of the Mexican band Kinky, who has previously worked with Majo.

Although both artists manage their careers separately from that of their fathers — fellow Mexican music icons Antonio Aguilar, Jr. and Alejandro Fernández — their opinions on the concept have been very important to them.

“My dad told me that what we are doing is reviving something very wonderful in two very beautiful voices, which bodes a great success,” said Majo. Alex, for his part, shared the words of his famous father: “I am very happy with what you are doing, I am sure you will be very successful.”
