Aguilar dynasty lived a weekend of contrasts. While Majo Aguilar He triumphed internationally in Saudi Arabia, his cousin Ángela Aguilar He faced a dazzled reception at the Puebla 2025 Fair, where he failed to conquer the local public.
On Saturday, May 3, Majo Aguilar was in charge of interpreting the Mexican national anthem in the expected fight between Saul ‘Canelo’ Álvarez and Cuban William Scull, in Riad. The event, with global transmission and millions of spectators, put his eyes on the young singer, who did not disappoint. With an impeccable interpretation, sober and attached to the protocol, Majo was cheered by attendees and widely praised in social networks.
The granddaughter of Antonio Aguilar and Flor Silvestre wore a black suit in the style of the traditional ranchera, with which she reaffirmed her artistic seal. Her firm voice, clean and with a bell that many compare with that of her grandmother, consolidated her as the new “Mexican regional princess.” “Majo Aguilar showing how the national anthem should be affected, not as her cousin”, He wrote a user on X (formerly Twitter). Comments like this multiplied after their participation.
The interpretation marked a before and after in the career of Majo, who has chosen to forge his path independently, away from the artistic management of Pepe Aguilar. At 29, he has shown that his talent transcends the last name. “Clearly had to be Majo Aguilar who sing the Mexican anthem in the fight of Canelo. The true pride of the Aguilar dynasty,” was read among the most viral reactions.
This Sunday, through a story on Instagram, Majo Aguilar thanked his followers for the innumerable support samples he received in the last hours.
In contrast, Ángela Aguilar and her father Pepe Aguilar lived a less successful night. His presentation of May 2 at the Fair of Puebla failed to fill the La Victoria Civic Plaza, according to local media reports such as THE SUN OF PUEBLA AND DEBATE. Although it was not an empty scenario, the space looked visible, an unusual fact for figures of its size.
Pepe Aguilar offered a show with Mariachi and recalled classic songs such as “For a pretty woman” y “I’m getting used to you”in addition to paying tribute to Paquita the neighborhood. “What honor to be in Puebla, it seems to me that tonight will be unforgettable for everyone,” he said at the beginning of the show. However, enthusiasm was not reflected in the call.
Ángela appeared in the second part of the show with songs like “La Llorona” y “The wrong”but failed to light the public as on other occasions. In social networks, comparisons with Majo were inevitable. “Majo Aguilar did it quite well. It is excited. Really, excites”he wrote a follower, making the difference between the impact of both artists that weekend.
Both are part of the Aguilar musical legacy, but their careers reflect different approaches. While Angela has grown under the direct tutelage of her father and has enjoyed a constant exhibition in media and scenarios, Majo has opted for a more discreet but solid trajectory. His participation in Saudi Arabia could become the key moment that place it as a new central figure of the Mexican regional.
