Pepe Aguilar:
Friends of Billboard, I’m Pepe Aguilar and this is Behind the Photo.

Behind this photo is one of the beings I love the most on the planet and it’s my puppy, Fat. This photo is there.

Behind this photo is a very scared guy because we were going to the top of the Empire State Building in New York, and they took me to the 100th floor and I felt something. I was very afraid, that’s what I felt. But before I went up, I was grabbed by King Kong. So, this photo is special because I went to the Empire State Building and King Kong grabbed me.

Behind this photo there are 70 years of history. I am not 70 years old, but I am 50 years old of my father doing shows on horseback, plus my 20s, there are almost 80 years of history, of charreria, of tradition, of honor, of pride in who we are as Mexicans. This is one of my biggest dreams, to be able to dress up as a Mexican. I dress up as a charro, I dress up as a superhero because for me, I dress up as a charro. It’s like I’ve always said, it’s like dressing up as a superhero. In other words, just look at this photo. It looks like lightning and thunderbolts are coming out of Olympus there. So behind this photo there is a lot of pride.

Behind this photo there is a lot of sake. 

Keep watching for more!
