Fox News Latino - To mariachi rhythms and dressed in traditional Mexican "charro" attire, Spanish tenor Placido Domingo proved in Mexico City that at age 70 he continues to be "the king."
At the end of an emotional tribute organized Tuesday night for his 70th birthday and to commemorate the half century since he made his singing debut in a country he considers to be a second home, the artist brought out the most Mexican facet of his personality and performed - charro sombrero in hand - three songs accompanied by a traditional mariachi group.
More than 10,000 people crowded into the National Auditorium to hear a varied repertoire of numbers.
