“We never expected a plane to fall on top of our house here in Calle 54, I remember the plane crashed and it burst into flames while we were all watching,” said Mrs. Remigia Garcia
With music, poems, a floral offering and endless anecdotes, the Yucatecans remembered Pedro Infante Cruz 61 years after his death.
“Pedro Infante has not died, Pedro Infante is still alive in his songs and that is the message we try to bring, to this place where I have been coming every April 15th, for many years,” said Justiniano Gorocica, another Mérida resident.
“My father departed 61 years ago, I am very happy to remember him like that, very happy like all the people here in Mérida,” said Armando Infante, son of Pedro Infante.
