Alejandro Fernandez talks about donating his Hecho en Mexico U.S. tour proceeds to assist immigrant families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Hecho en Mexico also served as a fundraiser for Families Belong Together, where Fernandez donated over $100,000 from the tour proceeds to assist immigrant families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.

“The impact of my concerts goes beyond the money, the box office, and the sold-out shows,” he explains. “I have always been a very sensitive person to things that happen, especially if it happens in my country. The important thing is to be able to start something and for people to come together, to educate and invite them to support these causes. I see it as giving my audience a little bit of what they have given me.

On tour, the Mexican superstar was joined by 25 people on stage, including his full band, his Mexican mariachi, special guests“History repeated itself,” Fernandez, who on many occasions shared the stage with his famed father, expresses. “In fact, Alex was so reserved that I did not contemplate, nor did I know that he wanted to dedicate himself to a musical career. This was the first time we sang together on tour and it gave me a sense of nostalgia, family, and tradition.

As Mexico ages, public services are not keeping upIn Mexico most think the elderly should be cared for at home, surrounded by their loved ones. But this creates a burden that many middle-aged Mexicans find hard to shoulder Burden? No parent should be a burden to their child/children-It’s the circle of life. And while it may be challenging at times, it’s not a burden- it’s an opportunity to give them what they gave us. I would hope my children would think the same when the time comes for me. Using words such as 'burden' to push individualism; because manipulating an individual is easier than manipulating a group. We grow up with that in mind, a mother or father or both can take care of 3, 5, 7 children, but they can’t take care of them when aged? Of course it depends on different circumstances, but Mexico is so family oriented, I guess is also a cultural thing.
