Diego Boneta recently surprised by revealing a little known episode of his musical career: the close friendship and collaboration he had with Juan Gabriel. Through his social networks, the actor and singer shared unpublished videos with the so-called “Divo de Juárez”, material that immediately aroused the nostalgia and interest of his followers.
In a meeting with the press, Boneta explained the origin of these images. According to him, the videos correspond to a weekend in which he worked intensely with Alberto Aguilera Valadez, Juan Gabriel’s real name. “What I uploaded were videos of a weekend where Alberto and I recorded three songs as a duet. There is a song called ‘Millón de años’, which came out in my second album, and it is one of the most special songs for me because we composed it together,” he explained.
For Boneta, collaborating directly with a figure of Juan Gabriel’s magnitude was not only a professional achievement, but also a deeply formative experience. The Mexican singer-songwriter, who passed away in 2016, left an indelible mark on Spanish-language music and worked with artists from different generations. Having his support at the beginning of his career as a singer was an important boost and an invaluable learning experience.
Juan Gabriel: A memory that marked his career
Beyond the musical anecdote, Boneta made it clear that that stage occupies a very special place in his memory. Composing alongside one of Latin America’s most influential artists was an intimate and transformative experience for him. “Millón de años”, included in his second album, symbolizes that moment of growth and artistic connection.
The actor has shown on several occasions his interest in music, a facet that many rediscovered thanks to his portrayal of Luis Miguel in the successful biographical series. However, his history with Juan Gabriel reveals that his link with the music industry began much earlier and was backed by figures of enormous weight.
Excitement for Bad Bunny’s show
On another topic, Diego Boneta also shared his opinion about Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, one of the most important stages worldwide. The actor confessed that he was deeply moved by the show.
“No, no manches, I even had a couple of tears. It was very emotional to see the whole show with the community, the wedding, the little boy… I think it represents very well what the Latino community is and it is a very important achievement for all Latinos,” he said.
Boneta highlighted the pride it means to see a Latin artist headline an event of such magnitude. He also revealed that he had the opportunity to attend one of the concerts that the Puerto Rican singer offered in Mexico City, which reinforces his admiration for him.
Although he would have liked to be present at the Super Bowl, he explained that work commitments related to Zona Maco prevented him from traveling. “I had a job here and it just didn’t happen, but it was spectacular,” he said.
With these statements, Diego Boneta not only recalled an endearing chapter with Juan Gabriel, but also reaffirmed his connection to contemporary Latin music and his pride in the achievements of the Hispanic artistic community on a global stage.
