About this listen

The contrast between two seemingly irreconcilable worlds: the Mexican cockfighting arena, with its festive and popular atmosphere, and the solemn Palace of Fine Arts. Through the perspective of narrator Andrés Vargas, we discover his personal memories of Juan Gabriel intertwined with the story of María Esther Pozo, who in 1990 witnessed the "collective madness" phenomenon that Juan Gabriel provoked and conceived the idea of bringing him to the Palace of Fine Arts with the National Symphony Orchestra, immediately facing rejection from her boss, who believed a popular artist had no place in Mexico's premier cultural venue.
