The iconic Mexican singer Paquita la del Barrio passed away at the age of 77 on February 17. The sad news of her death in Veracruz was announced through her official social media, leaving an indelible legacy in the music industry.
In her career, Paquita la del Barrio stood out for her straightforward style in interpreting her songs, earning the affection of the public. She even dedicated a song to the Mexican national team during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, after the team's elimination by Argentina in the round of 16.
At that time, along with Eugenio Derbez, they changed the lyrics of "Rata de Dos Patas" to express their support for the Tricolor, generating controversy with messages directed at players like Cuauhtémoc Blanco and Rafa Márquez. The adapted song caused a stir due to its criticism and unique way of backing the Mexican team during a difficult moment.
