Alfonso Torres has been dubbed the new singer of Mexican songs and he will be accompanied that night by a another talented singer, Hernandez said.
“He will be singing and preforming mariachi music,” he said. “There will be special guest Janie Torres.”
Torres said she will be serenading the audience with some contemporary music and a type of cumbia.
