Rocio Durcal is so loved and respected in Mexico. We're not entitled to our culture. It's for everyone, hence our international Mexicans we adopt as our own. Being mexican is in the heart. Where you get to embrace the culture, traditions, and land. Rocio Durcal was Spaniard but a true Mexican at heart.

That is so beautiful.

I am a first gereation mexican american , born and raised in the bronx new york , now living in East TN. The fact that in a world so divided some grandparents from Tennessee are listening and sharing the music I grew up on is amazing to me. I appreciate yall so much for that. Our local church choir sang this song at my brothers funeral and now this song means the world to me. Eternal Love!

Rocío Durcal, one of the most influential hispanic singers of all time. Started as a teen movie star in Spain back in the 60s, widely popular in Spain and Latinoamérica. Once she became and adult mid 70s she went to Mexico and got the opportunity to record a Mexican music album and it turned out to be a smashing hit that make her much more successful until she passed away. She sang about every musical genre. She had dozens of hits. She was quite versatile.

We shall not forget about her daughter Sheila Dúcal

Rocio Durcal is actually from Spain. Shw was a young actor/singer. Her career was fading when mexican singwr/composer Juan Gabriel helped resurrect her career. Juan Gabriel wrote the lyrics to this song in 45 minutes upon hearing the death of his mother while he was on his way to a concert in Acapulco, Mexico ... Where his mother was supposed to meet him to watch him perform live for the very first time but she passed away. Juan Gabriel and gis mother had recently reconnected after many years of absence as she abandoned him in an orphanage when he was 5 yo. He went through so much prior to becoming famous. That is why these lyrics are so potent

Rocio Durcal is connected with this song because her son died when he was young in Acapulco. The ending lyrics of the song talk about Acapulco. So I think that is why she performed this song so well.

Rocio said after singing this song you have to be a masochist to even sing it. It's a song of deep heart ripping ache about your mother you lost. She's wonderful but Juan Gabriel when he sings it does so with such power and gravitas that you can't help but cry since. It was so powerful it became an anthem for funerals for mothers that passed.
