In honor of legendary singer Vicente Fernández, who died in December, City Councilman Kevin de León wants to rename a street near Mariachi Plaza.
The singer, who had been in poor health, died Sunday, according to an announcement on his Instagram page. A cause of death was not specified.For those unfamiliar with the performer, De León likened Fernández to Frank Sinatra. His awards and accolades are too numerous to mention,” the politician said, invoking Fernández’s multiple Grammys and Latin Grammys as well as his star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
“His legacy is not only the music that he made,” the councilman said, “but the memories we all were able to make listening to the music he created and shared with us.” After making the motion to rename the street, De León delivered his message in Spanish, calling Fernández the “.” He also noted that Los Angeles is the city with the second-largest Mexican population in the world, following only Mexico City and ahead of Guadalajara and Tijuana.The street under renaming consideration is to the east of Los Angeles’ Mariachi Plaza, a community hub where mariachi musicians have traditionally gathered to seek work.
The performer nicknamed Chente fell at his ranch in the Mexican state of Jalisco and injured his spine in August, and when his death came months later it was the end of an era.
