77-year-old Mexican musical icon Paquita la del Barrio, recognized for her strong vocals and staunch advocacy for women, passed away early on Monday at her residence in Veracruz.
News of her death was shared on her official social media platforms and corroborated by her representatives to the Associated Press. The capital city of Veracruz will grieve the demise of the renowned singer, who had been grappling with several recent health issues.
We regretfully announce that ‘Paquita la del Barrio’ has tragically passed away at her home in Veracruz. She was a one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable artist whose art touched the hearts of many. Her spirit will live on forever in our memories and through her music.”
This version is more conversational and easier to read, while still conveying the same sentiment as the original statement.
Hailing from Francisca Viveros Barradas, Paquita la del Barrio won over crowds with her songs that echoed themes of heartache and deception, such as “Rata de dos patas” and “Tres veces te engañé.” Although her primary followers were women, the strength of her performances attracted male spectators to her concerts as well.
In the initial stages, numerous individuals expressed doubts such as ‘What’s the point, I might be embarrassed?’… However, now they attend the concerts. They go accompanied by their partners – girlfriends or wives – and they thoroughly enjoy it, as Paquita stated in a 2016 interview with AP.
Twice nominated for both Grammys and Latin Grammys, the esteemed Paquita la del Barrio garnered widespread acclaim throughout her industry. In 2021, she was bestowed with the Billboard Latin Music Award for Lifetime Achievement, an honor presented to her by the renowned Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny.
Upon hearing the sad news of her demise, I found myself joining countless others in expressing my sorrow on digital platforms. Among those expressing their grief were the Latin Grammys and Apple Music, adding their heartfelt tributes to the outpouring of emotions online.
Apple Music expressed condolences on social media platform X, remembering Paquita la del Barrio, the fearless Mexican feminist icon who boldly sang messages that many were too afraid to express.
