Ángela Aguilar highlights the role of her family and women in her new album

The young star reveals how her family and women composers shaped her musical evolution.

The musical evolution of Ángela Aguilar: a family legacy and focus on female talent

Singer Ángela Aguilar, one of the most promising figures in regional Mexican music, has revealed intimate details about her creative process and the influences that have shaped her career. In a recent interview with host Jesse Cervantes, the artist addressed key topics, from her transition to independent production to the fundamental role of her family, including her cousin Majo Aguilar, in the development of her voice and style.

A new chapter as a producer

Ángela Aguilar faces a crucial moment in her career: her next album will be the first in which she assumes the role of producer without the direct participation of her father, Pepe Aguilar. However, the young woman clarified that this decision did not arise from a premeditated desire for independence, but from practical circumstances. “It was something organic,” he explained. “My dad was focused on his own album, and I started looking for songs on my own. That led to arrangements, then the conceptualization of the project, and finally the full production.”

This process has allowed him to value even more the work that his father did behind the scenes. “Now I deeply appreciate the effort he invested in my previous productions,” he confessed. Despite taking on new responsibilities, Angela maintains a deep respect for her family’s artistic legacy, something that is reflected in every aspect of her music.

The power of female talent in the music industry

One of the pillars of her new project is collaboration with women composers. “Most of the songs were written by women, including some of my own,” she noted. For Ángela, this choice was not a coincidence: “It is beautiful to be able to make female talent visible in an industry historically dominated by men.” This stance reinforces her commitment to gender equality in the musical field, while paying tribute to the artists who inspire her.

The voice as a collective inheritance

During the conversation, Angela made a significant revelation: her voice is not solely hers, but the result of a shared family and artistic legacy. “My form of vocal expression is a gift from those who taught me: my father, my grandmother, my grandfather, my cousin Majo and everyone around me,” he said. This public recognition of her cousin Majo Aguilar surprised many, given previous rumors about tensions between them.

The mention of Majo was not superficial. Angela explicitly included her as a key figure in the development of her vocal technique, highlighting how the teachings shared between them have enriched her art. This statement not only refutes speculation, but also underlines the importance of collaboration between artists within the same family tradition.

Angela’s meticulous approach to her vocal instrument is evident: “I take great care of my voice because it represents those who formed me.” This philosophy reflects an artistic maturity uncommon in artists of his generation, as well as a deep understanding of music as a cultural heritage.

What’s next for Ángela Aguilar? With this album, the singer not only consolidates her independent artistic identity, but also establishes a bridge between her family’s legacy and new female voices in music. Its analytical approach to production and its recognition of its roots suggest a promising future where tradition and innovation converge.

Gael García Bernal: ‘It’s going to be difficult for them to beat Mexico’

The Mexican actor trusts in the solidity of El Tri in the World Cup and remembers his love for Pumas.

Gael García Bernal is passionate about soccer and has been a fan of the UNAM Pumas for decades. 25 years ago, in And your mother also, he wore the university team’s shirt. Later, he took his passion to the movies with Rudo y cheesy, where he played a soccer player.

His vision of the Mexican National Team

Today, the actor closely follows the World Cup and the path of El Tri directed by Javier Aguirre, already installed in the round of 32. Regarding the national team, Gael commented to EL UNIVERSAL:

“I see her very well. The only certainty I have is that it will be difficult for them to beat her, I don’t know if Mexico can win (laughs), but it will be difficult for them to beat her.”

He also highlighted the strength of the team:

“They will have to play a great game, (the Mexican team) is very solid, we are playing like never before in terms of defense, tactics, technique, there is a good job and let’s see how far it goes.”

The historic El Tri Pass

Mexico had a perfect group stage: three wins and zero goals conceded, something unprecedented in its history. They beat South Africa (2-0), South Korea (1-0) and Czech Republic (3-0). That earned him first place in the group. Their rival in the next round will come from among the best third places: Ecuador, Uruguay or Escucia are the candidates.

The duel will be played on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. at the Mexico City Stadium, formerly known as Azteca.

Loyal to the Pumas since 1991

Gael’s love for the Pumas was born in 1991, when he and his friend Diego Luna went to the CU Stadium to see the team win the championship against América. Since then he has not stopped supporting them. In the last final of the Mexican tournament, where Pumas lost to Cruz Azul, Gael recognized the merit of his rival.

The merchant stood between them and asked the attacker to calm down, explaining that the tourist did not speak Spanish. During the struggle, phrases such as:

“Don’t record here, your father’s son… No, he’s recording me, take out your cell phone.”

Taking advantage of the intervention, the content creator managed to get away and then ran to safety. He did not stop his live broadcast, commenting in German that the man was carrying a knife.

Four decades marked by controversy

Drake Bell, the actor who conquered a generation with Drake & Josh, turns 40. His recent career combines projects in Mexico with multiple legal and personal controversies.
