On March 16, 2025, the hit show 'Juego de Voces' kicked off its new season with a heartwarming performance from renowned singer Manuel Mijares and his daughter, Lucero Mijares. The two took center stage to deliver their rendition of the song 'No se murió el amor'—a moment many fans anticipated eagerly. Their duet was not just about music; it was about family, talent, and overcoming challenges together.
'Juego de Voces' marks the first time Lucero and her younger sibling, Lucerito Mijares, are working on the same production. The show's return is significant, showcasing not only Mijares's established career but also highlighting the budding talent of Lucerito, who is striving to make her own mark.
Lucerito has not had it easy on her road to popularity. Being the daughter of two iconic singers has its perks, like instant recognition. Yet, as she recently shared, it also invites unwarranted scrutiny. “I believe what has made me strong is dealing with the bad comments which will always exist. My parents have really shielded me from it,” Lucerito stated. Her resilience shines through as she continues to pursue her passion, embracing opportunities to showcase her talent publicly.
The 16-year-old Lucerito, who grew up surrounded by music, has faced her share of bullying online. Yet, she remains grateful. “The truth is, my parents have managed to protect me quite well, and I've gone through tough times, but my career is beautiful because many people see and applaud me,” she explained. Lucerito has also taken to heart the lessons her parents taught her about negativity: “I’ve thought about it a lot—that if you pay attention to them, you give them more power, so ignoring those people is best.”
Her father, Manuel Mijares, expressed pride in what Lucerito has accomplished at such a young age. He remarked on the talent he always knew she had. “I see the extraordinary path she is carving out. She has been working at it since she was little, taking singing lessons and doing musical theater. We never pressured or imposed anything on her as a family,” he shared.
Standing by the sidelines of her artistic endeavors, Mijares described her pre-career preparations, noting her appreciation for classic music. “Lucerito is passionate about music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s; she doesn’t limit herself to just what her friends listen to at school. I think her development shows she has her own distinctive style—what parents provide is guidance based on what children want to do with their lives,” he added.
Both parents have emphasized the importance of authenticity, encouraging Lucerito to stay true to herself. They believe this authenticity resonates strongly with their audiences, making it easier for her to connect on stage. During various appearances, Lucerito has made clear just how much she enjoys her work: “It’s very demanding, but I enjoy it so much, and I’m grateful to be able to pursue my great passion.”
While 'Juego de Voces' serves as both a platform for the family and exposure for Lucerito, it is also a reflection of the music industry today—one where young artists like her grapple with fame and the responsibilities it entails. “Life is meant to be lived happily,” she said articulately, echoing her parents' life lessons of not letting negativity weigh them down.
Previewing their performance on 'Juego de Voces', the family anticipates responses from the audience, both positive and negative, as is customary on social media these days. But Mijares and Lucerito approach it with excitement and determination. They look forward to both recognition and the challenge of performing for fans and newcomers alike.
With the new season of 'Juego de Voces' now underway, audiences can expect to see what the Mijares family brings to the stage, embodying both contemporary talent and traditional familial bonds through music, and illustrating how they collectively navigate the ups and downs of public life.
Through teamwork, determination, and unyielding support, the Mijares family demonstrates how art and love can flourish even amid adversity, reminding us all of the joy music brings to our lives.
