Happy Thursday,Growing up in a Mexican American household, I can’t recall a time when the music of Juan Gabriel and Jenni Rivera weren’t blasting through speakers. As a child, I resented the music. Maybe that was just me trying to be rebellious? Now that I’m an adult, I have the Latin American icons playing on repeat. If you’re anything like me and have a deep appreciation for these artists, you’ll have a chance to honor their legacies when the Sonidos del Summer concert series kicks off its “Verano Eterno” event at Marine Park in Fort Worth’s Northside May 10.The free family-friendly concert will feature powerful musical tributes, community vendors and local food trucks.
