If you spend your time harassing the friends and families (or even strangers) of a dead person due to the wildly inappropriate and baseless assumption that you might be able to solve their murder (if they even were murdered) well then I simply think you are going to hell.

I’m starting to hc Miguel as Miguel Rivera (from Coco)’s great grandson.

It’s mostly because I’ve been doing my family tree for a good while now, so most of my free time is occupied with tracking down Mexican ancestors, looking for resources to better understand the different settings they lived in, reading old Spanish handwritten records, etc. So, with genealogy on the brain, and seeing some names repeated down family lines…I think having Miguel O’Hara be descended from Miguel Rivera would be a neat lil idea.

Like, imagine little Conchata growing up in Mexico with a famous musician grandfather who loves her and dotes on her and her cousins. Yes, he’s a famous musician, but he’s a family man first and is always ready to pass down stories from his life and his loved ones, dead and living. She loves her grandfather so much she decided to name her firstborn son after him.

She wasn’t always the best mom, especially to Miguel, but she passed down those stories and traditions, including singing and a love for music. And Miguel grows up loving to sing, and being good at it but keeping it to himself and Gabriel because George hated to hear it.

Gabriel, on top of being a good artist, is a pretty damn good guitar player and also has a great voice. He mostly keeps it on the down low, though, even in adulthood.

Miguel didn’t pick up any instruments, but he sometimes wishes he picked up the violin before he became Spider-Man. Instead, he let Gabriela pick out an instrument she wanted to play, and if she happened to pick the violin, the onions that manifested were a complete coincidence.

Plus, it’s literally canon that Miguel goes to Mexico to celebrate Día de Los Muertos and that his suit in the comics was one he wore to the festivals. I think it’s better for that to be a thing he does bc the holiday is a big deal in his family rather than bc it’s an excuse to party or whatever.

His mother had an ofrenda and so does he.

Miguel Rivera is still alive (he was born in like 2005, he could totally still be alive in the 2090s and 2100s, so he is in my hc ☺️) so Miguel visits him in Mexico, too. Miguel is shy about singing in front of anybody, but his bisabuelo is able to bring him out of his shell, especially by singing his old songs that Miguel grew up listening to.

The more I think about it, the more attached I become to this hc.

Now I want to write a fic where Miguel is visiting a dimension in the 2020s (616B, 1610B, etc) and he happens to see that a young Mexican musician is starting to trend, and it’s his bisabuelo Miguel as a young man 🥹 so he buys tickets and flies to Mexico 🥹 to watch him live 🥹 and yes he knows this isn’t his bisabuelo but he is as close as he can get to a young Miguel Rivera at the start of his long and successful career and it just hits him in the soul 🥹

And if Miguel Rivera happens to notice a 6’9” giant at his show, who looks strangely familiar, watching him perform like it’s the best thing he’s ever seen… who’s to say.

Fuerza Regida Host a Never-Ending Party in "CRAZYZ" Video

Armed with their tight group chemistry and the songwriting and vocal chops of frontman Jesús Ortiz Paz, Fuerza Regida are leaders of the Mexican music boom. Today, the Platinum-selling grupo shares the video for "CRAZYZ," a fan favorite song from their Billboard-charting album Pa Las Baby's Y Belikeada. With hundreds of millions of streams across platforms, including over 144 million on Spotify alone, "CRAZYZ" tells the story of a party so wild and uninhibited that it feels like it lasts forever. In the video, Fuerza hosts one of these parties in a mansion in Southern California, inviting the baddest babes from their timelines to come join–including famed influencer Sky Bri (3M on Instagram). However, some of the party guests came to finesse instead of let loose, as some of the beautiful women take valuable pieces of jewelry from the band and sell them to the local pawn shop. The video for "CRAZYZ" comes hot on the heels of the announcement of Fuerza's "Pero No Te Enamores Tour," their next headlining tour. 

"CRAZYZ" and Pa Las Baby's Y Belikeada were highlights from their standout 2023, full of new commercial heights and well-deserved accolades. Pa Las Baby's Y Belikeada was their highest-charting album to date, peaking at #2 on Billboard's Latin Albums chart and reaching the Top 15 of the Billboard 200. The album generated billions of streams across platforms, led by hits like "TQM" (peaked at #34 at the Billboard Hot 100), "Sabor Fresa" (#26 on the Hot 100), and "HARLEY QUINN" (#40 on the Hot 100), their collaboration with Marshmello that became their first-ever #1 hit on the Latin Airplay chart. The success of Pa Las Baby's Y Belikeada propelled Fuerza Regida to two Billboard Music Awards in 2023, plus the #1 spot on Billboard's Top Duo/Group year-end artist chart.

Most recently, Fuerza released their EP, Dolido Pero No Arrepentido, which arrived just in time for Valentine's Day. The album debuted at #2 on Billboard's Latin Albums chart, and all six songs from the EP reached Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart. The group will debut songs from their new EP on the "Pero No Te Enamores Tour." Produced by Live Nation and kicking off on June 6th in Austin, TX, the "Pero No Te Enamores Tour" takes the group across North America for a series of dates, including shows in Atlanta, New York, Houston, and more, before closing with a show in Inglewood, CA. The 5-man group saluted their hometown fans with a special mural in their native San Bernardino, CA, displaying the tour artwork and dates in the center of the city. Tickets for the  "Pero No Te Enamores Tour" are available now at livenation.com.

Stay tuned for much more information about Fuerza Regida in the near future.

OTD in Music History: Important Mexican composer and conductor Carlos Chavez (1899 – 1978) dies in Mexico City. At age 16, Chavez completed his first symphony – but the ballet “El fuego nuevo” (“The New Fire,” 1921) was the first significant work that he completed in what he later deemed to be a “true Mexican style.” As a young man he traveled widely in Europe and the United States, in 1928 he founded and became conductor of the Symphony Orchestra of Mexico. From 1928 to 1933 he also served as Director of the Mexican National Conservatory. Chavez’s music is unmistakably “Mexican” in its melodic patterns and rhythmic inflections… but despite drawing inspiration from Mexican music and Mexican folk traditions, Chavez was also deeply influenced by avant garde European composers of the day – especially Igor Stravinsky (1882 – 1971) and Arnold Schoenberg (1874 – 1951). Out of all his colleagues, Chavez was undoubtedly the closest with Aaron Copland (1900 – 1990). Both composers worked to create a distinct musical sound world that spoke to their home countries at a time when Europe was seen by many cognoscenti as the only true font of “serious” music. They wrote to each other regularly – and on one memorable occasion, in the 1930s, Chavez sent Copland a letter expressing his annoyance at what he perceived to be “self-important” attitudes in Europe. Copland responded as follows: “All you wrote about music in America awoke a responsive echo in my heart. I am through with Europe, Carlos, and I believe, as you do, that our salvation must come from ourselves, and we must fight the foreign element in American music…” PICTURED: A lovely portrait photograph showing the young Chavez in a very self-serious pose, which he signed and inscribed to a friend.
