Vicente "Chente" Fernández Gómez (born 17 February 1940) is a Mexican retired singer, actor, and film producer.
Nicknamed "El Rey de la Música Ranchera" (The King of Ranchera Music), Fernández started his career singing for tips on the street, and has since become a cultural icon, recording more than 50 albums and contributing to more than 30 films.
His repertoire consists of rancheras and other Mexican classics.
He is accompanied live by a mariachi group, but he is not technically a mariachi musician, as he only sings live.
Vicente's fame rose after the death of Javier Solís (El Rey del Bolero Ranchero). Fernández's work has earned him three Grammy Awards, eight Latin Grammy Awards, fourteen Lo Nuestro Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
He has sold over 50 million copies worldwide, making him one of the best-selling regional Mexican artists of all time.
In 2016, Fernández retired from performing live, although he continues to record and publish music.
