Un genio este mexicano!!, aguante Enrique Guzmán y Los Teen Tops!!, Argentina baila vuestra música ídolos!!!. Enrique lo vi en el programa de su compatriota preciosa por cierto y a quien consideramos un poquito nuestra también, Verónica Castro, muy buen programa y creo que fue La movida.

@benjirespect5818

Bueno el nació en Venezuela.... Pero se crió aquí... (mmmm m si si es mexicano como no...!!) ✌️😅

@jorgegargiulo1765

@@benjirespect5818 jaja si, sabía, pero él adoptó la nacionalización mexicana, como las adoptó Christian Bach, Laureano Brizuela, Sabú, la mamá de (Fey), Libertad Lamarque, Orlando Carrió, Amanda Miguel, Saúl Lizaso, Diego Verdaguer, etc; que serían compatriotas míos, o sea, argentinos, pero que han adoptado también la soberanía mexicana y México los cobijó; es un país al que quiero y respeto.

@alfredooscarcasco9358
