Camil to Record “Por ella soy Eva” Theme Song

Jaime Camil won’t just be starring as a man and a woman in the telenovela Por ella soy Eva

The 38-year-old Mexican actor/singer will perform the theme song for the highly anticipated Spanish-language soap opera, which will co-star Lucero.

Producer Rosy Ocampo told Notimex that she’d spoken with Camil about interpreting the theme song and participating in the telenovela.

After several months of work and a lot of thought, the creative concept of the telenovela has changed to have Camil’s character appear as a woman. So along with appearing as Juan Carlos Caballero, a machista, Camil will be transformed into Eva as a way of conquering the love of Elena (Lucero).

Por ella soy Eva is slated to premiere on February 20.

Lucero’s Next Telenovela: Por ella soy Eva

Lucero isn’t taking a break after hosting last week’s high-octane Latin Grammy Awards.

The 42-year-old Mexican actress/singer has started filming her next highly anticipated telenovela, Por ella soy Eva.

She’ll appear opposite 38-year-old Mexican actor and singer Jaime Camil in the new telenovela.

“Now that they’ve announced that Por ella soy Eva will being taping, I’m happy,” exclaimed Lucero, who last starred in the oh-so-popular Soy Tu Dueña, which could be getting an American remake soon. “Happy, touched and with many beautiful expectations.”

Lucero will star as Elena—a single mother with an 8-year-old child—in the telenovela, which will center on a great man who falls in love for the first time and finds himself involved in a series of situations that force him to live “in the heels of a woman.”

Produced by Rosy Ocampo, the telenovela is a new version of the Colombian hit Los tacones de Eva.

Por ella soy Eva will premiere on Mexican television on February 12, 2012.
