Joan Sebastian is getting a star-studded musical tribute…

The late Mexican singer, one of most beloved entertainment figures in his homeland, will be remembered by his peers in an all-star musical tribute Wednesday at the Mundo Imperial Forum in Acapulco.

Joan Sebastian

The three-hour concert, titled “¡Viva por siempre Joan Sebastian!,” will feature superstar names in Mexican music and television, including Marco Antonio Solís, Larry Hernandez, Lucía Mendez, Aracely Arámbula, Maribel Guardia, Yuri, Ana Bárbara, Banda El Limón and more. The late superstar’s two sons, José Manuel and Julián Figueroa, will also be part of the tribute.

Veteran Mexican actor Alfredo Adame will serve as the host for the evening. He’ll be joined by other telenovela actors who will pay their respects to Sebastian, who himself participated in dozens of Spanish soaps, both as an actor and songwriter.

“There will be more than 30 stars who will be with us,” the event’s executive producer, Alex Ruiz, told El Universal. “And others whom we have yet to confirm so that it will be a dignified tribute, fit for Joan Sebastian.”

Other A-listers who could join the tribute to “El Rey del Jaripeo” include Vicente Fernandez, Enrique Iglesias and Thalía, all of whom have reportedly been invited.

The tribute will be televised August 29 on Bandamax. All proceeds will benefit the Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos organization, which helps children with cancer, in Sebastian’s home state of Guerrero.

The Mexican icon’s death on July 13 after a long battle with cancer sparked a record surge on the Billboard charts. His new posthumous single “Volví Pa’l Pueblo” celebrates life at home in his native Juliantla. Sony Music Latin has said it will release a full album in the near future.

It’s lights, camera, and action for Larry Hernandez…

The Mexican-American singer will expose television viewers to his daily goings-on on Larrymania, a 10-episode reality show that will begin airing on Sunday, October 7 on mun2.

Larry Hernandez

“I’m going to expose my edgy feelings, I’m going to present my children, my mother, my girlfriend in filming we’re doing in five U.S. cities, and also in Sinaloa (Mexico) where I went to visit the cemetery where my grandparents rest in peace,” the singer told Efe.

Hernandez, who was born in Los Angeles but moved to Sinaloa at age 4, knows the reality show brings with it some serious personal risks.

“It was hard for me to decide to do a show about my private life, because that means making known what I love most, which is my family, including to criminal groups like those who kidnapped my brother in 2004 in Phoenix and tried to kidnap me in 2006,” Hernandez said.

But Hernandez – who sings narcocorridos, ballads about the lives and often-violent deaths of drug traffickers – Believes the inconveniences of the project will be a positive experience for him and his family.

“I decided to participate fully in the production because … my two children’s friends don’t believe them that their dad is the singer who’s on television and so they’ll be part of the reality (show) in which I do what I always do, which is take care of them, play with them and tell them that I want them to do well in school,” he emphasized.

In addition to composing songs and corridos, the talented singer-songwriter also plays the accordion and drums.
