There are some people who are just born to be singers and performers, and Pepe Aguilar is certainly one of them. His parents were singers and performers, and they undoubtedly passed those genes on to him. Aguilar first took the stage when he was just three years old, joining his father during a performance at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. At such a young age, Aguilar was ready for the biggest stage imaginable. More than half a century later, he’s still performing and entertaining large audiences everywhere he goes. The only difference is that now Aguilar is a multiple Grammy winner and one of the best-selling Latin singers of all time. After all that time – both for longtime fans and those discovering Aguilar for the first time – seeing him perform live is still a treat.

A Career for the Ages

After first appearing on stage with his parents at age three, Aguilar proceeded to start his first band when he was still a teenager. He later embarked on a solo career and had recorded five studio albums by the time he was 25. While his roots are in Latin and mariachi music, Aguilar also grew up a fan of classic rock bands like The Who and Pink Floyd, who helped to influence his sound. Aguilar’s success over several decades is surely due to his ability to blend his traditional Mexican music with pop and rock elements, staying true to his roots but also appealing to a larger audience. The proof is in the pudding because Aguilar has released more than two dozen albums, sold tens of millions of records, and won multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy awards, elevating himself to a level that few Latin musicians have achieved.

Still a Family Affair

Just like the start of his career as a performer at age three, Aguilar’s shows are still a family affair. He has brothers, sisters, and children who are also singers who frequently join him on stage, just as he used to join his parents, who were influential Mexican singers in their own right. Aguilar’s shows frequently feature more than a dozen performers on the stage, playing a variety of instruments, singing, and dancing. The whole performance is a celebration of family, music, and culture in a way that’s fun and unforgettable for everyone in attendance.
