"This play takes you back to the 80s": Mijares

Mexican singer Mijares praised the musical "Mentiras" during its plaque unveiling, celebrating its 17 years of performances and its nostalgic connection to the 1980s.

During the unveiling of a giant vinyl-shaped plaque, renowned Mexican singer Mijares, serving as the godfather for the 17th anniversary of the musical "Mentiras," spoke fondly about the success of the production. He highlighted that after 17 years and nearly 5,000 performances, the play offers a time capsule experience that transports audiences back to the vibrant 1980s, a significant era marked by a surge in Spanish music influenced by the English sounds of the previous decade. At the event held at the Teatro Aldama, Oscar Carnicero, the producer of "Mentiras," reminisced about how he became familiar with the musical two decades ago through his former partner, José Manuel López Velarde, who introduced him to the project. He explained that the musical serves as a medley of 1980s classics, intricately weaving in numerous references to the pop culture of Mexico during that time, creating a nostalgic ambience for audiences. The gathering was not just a celebration of the musical's longevity but also a tribute to the significant cultural impact of the 1980s, both in music and in broader Mexican pop culture. Mijares, with his own songs featured in the production, emphasized the enduring relevance of that decade's music, contributing to the legacy of artists who emerged during a transformative time in the industry.
