Marjorie de Sousa: motherhood changed my vision of love

Elías Medina not only performs, he also writes the hymns that define contemporary Mexican regional music. This Friday, July 31, the singer-songwriter originally from Monterrey will appear at the Reynosa Lions Club to offer a concert that will span his career.

Two decades of compositions

With 20 years of experience, Medina has built a catalog that includes songs for groups such as Grupo Pesado, Grupo Firme, Invasores de Nuevo León, Leandro Ríos and Los Rieleros del Norte. He has also written for Bronco and El Duelo. His style is characterized by lyrics that tell everyday stories and connect with the public.

The artist began at the age of 15 singing in bars and cantinas in Monterrey while working to pay for his studies. That discipline led him to become one of the most sought-after composers of the genre.

An evening with the best of their repertoire

Under the concept of “The New Classic of Mexican Music”, Medina will perform both his hits as a soloist and those he wrote for other performers. The event is this Friday at the Reynosa Lions Club, an opportunity to listen live to one of the most prolific artists in current Mexican music.

Paola Núñez never forgets her roots. The actress, known for her role in the film Bad Boys, recognizes that her time in soap operas was the springboard to her international career.

“We cannot devalue gender because it is part of who we are, and it exists all over the world,” he says.

After several projects in the United States, he missed Mexican television. Her Barbie character in Amor en custodia marked her. “Having been in such a beloved soap opera makes me feel grateful,” she says.

A 20-year secret

Netflix premiered The Other Father, a series that the Tijuana native defines as a melodrama with a different tone. The story follows Macarena (Silvia Navarro), whose daughter (Azul Guaita) needs a kidney transplant. By doing tests, she discovers that her husband (Manolo Cardona) is not the biological father.

Núñez plays Yolanda Martínez, a controlling mother. “All the characters have flaws, a dark past. That makes them more interesting,” he explains.

Reunion on set

What convinced her was working with Silvia Navarro. They studied together at TV Azteca’s CEFAT, but they had never shared a scene. “When they confirmed it was Silvia, I called her to make sure. It was delicious working with her,” he confesses.

Her character, Yolanda, loves from lack and fear. Núñez reflects: “I’m not a mother, but I do have one; we had ups and downs. I find the mother-daughter relationship fascinating.”

Marjorie De Sousa is clear that motherhood changed her way of seeing love. During the presentation of her new soap opera, the Venezuelan actress shared the qualities she looks for in a partner.

“Let him be a prepared guy, a guy who loves life, a guy who believes in God, who is loving, who respects my family, who loves my son, who loves him as if he were his own.”

New priorities

De Sousa stated that, since she became a mother, romantic love no longer occupies the same place. “When you are a mother, your priority is something else, you are no longer aware of that (having a partner),” she explained. Although she does not rule out a relationship, she makes it clear that her son Matías must be a priority for any potential couple.

The actress has kept her love life private since she ended her courtship with businessman Vicente Uribe in 2020.

In addition to love, De Sousa expressed his concern about the recent earthquakes in Venezuela, his native country. “I have many friends who lost everything, we still do not have information about the case. In the end they are material things, but they are things of my mother and my father, a life effort,” he said.

Currently, Marjorie is part of the cast of “Infinito Amor”, a soap opera that will premiere on October 12 on Las Estrellas, where she will play Amanda.
