When Vicente Fernández was a little boy, he watched Pedro Infante movies while tending to the cows on his family’s ranch. He dreamt of charro suits and singing his heart out. In this episode of Becoming an Icon, we go back in time to the start of El Charro de Huentitán’s career and explore how he went from a cowboy with big dreams to Mexico’s hearthrob and role model.

Lilliana Vazquez and Joseph Carrillo are the hosts of Becoming An Icon with production support by Nick Milanes, Santiago Sierra, Rodrigo Crespo, Evelyn Uribe and Edgar Esteban of Sonoro Media in partnership with iHeart Radio's My Cultura Podcast network.
