Alejandro Fernandez returning to Dodge

The Little Colt will head back to the Valley.

Alejandro Fernandez

HIDALGO - The Little Colt is returning to the Dodge Arena.

Alejandro Fernandez will perform at 8 p.m. Sept. 28 at the Hidalgo venue.

Tickets are priced at $175, $125, $88, $57 or $39.50 plus service charges and parking fees and go on sale at 10 a.m. today through ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster locations.

Alejandro originally specialized in traditional, earthy forms of Mexican folk and country music, such as mariachi and ranchera. 

However, his more recent work has focused on mainstream pop music.

Fernandez is the son of one of the most beloved figures in Mexican music, Vicente Fernández. His nickname "El Potrillo" (The Little Colt) was given to him by the media and his fans because of being the son of Vicente, who is nicknamed "El Gran Garañón" (the Stallion).

Originally trained to be an architect, Fernandez became a singer in 1991 at the urging of his father.

Though he originally stuck to rancheras and mariachi music, the last few years have seen him put his emphasis on romantic pop songs.

His albums include 1993's "Piel de Nina," 1997's "Muy Dentro de Mi Corazon" and "Me Estoy Enamorando," 1999's "Mi Verdad" and "Entre Tus Brazos" in 2000.

At the first annual Latin Grammy Awards in fall 2000, he took home the Best Regional Song award for "Mi Verdad."
