The presence of Marco Antonio Solís at the 15th FICM

Among the activities of the 15th Morelia International Film Festival (FICM), Marco Antonio Solís gave a press conference in which he spoke of voice dubbing for the character of Ernesto de la Cruz in Disney • Pixar, COCO, which, for the singer, represents a way to enhance Morelia and the spirituality of human beings.

"It was a beautiful experience and I'm happy with this character I identified with because I started my career and made many sacrifices to achieve my goals. The film has many connotations of Day of the Dead, our state and our country.”

"It is a great joy to share the experience onscreen and I want young people and children to see it because the story has very important spiritual touches, especially when talking about things that are not seen but are there."

Marco Antonio Solís and cinema

The song "Si no te hubieras ido" by Marco Antonio Solís was part of the official soundtrack of the film Y tu mamá también (2001, dir. Alfonso Cuarón). The musician admits that his career in the seventh art has been visible but short, without ruling out the possibility of a filmmaker making a documentary about his career.

"I did some things years ago with Los Bukis, like the film Cómo me fui a enamorar (1990, dir. Rafael Villaseñor Kuri), which was the strongest thing of my career. I really like cinema, maybe I could do something in the future, maybe something short because it's not my forte, maybe a documentary. "

Finally, Marco Antonio Solis hopes to inaugurate his Hotel Mansión Solís in December and assured that his baton as an entrepreneur is driven by the desire to "bet on Michoacán and invest in Morelia to make the city grow".
