In true cowboy fashion, Vicente Fernandez called his sons “los potrillos” – the three colts. His love for them went beyond supporting their musical careers; Chente even established a ranch, Los Tres Potrillos, the perfect place to foster a dynasty. But life wasn’t all smooth sailing from there. Today, on Becoming an Icon, we explore the peak of Chente’s career. And in true telenovela style, Vicente’s world was about to get dramatic.

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.
