Wildly popular Colombian singer-songwriter and model for the clothing brand Army of Peace and Love, Andres Cuervo's latest single, "Asi Fue," is an updated cover of the classic 1988 Isabel Pantoja hit, which was written and produced by the legendary Mexican singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel. Nine years after the song was originally released, Gabriel performed a live cover version of the song, which was released as a single and reached number three on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. It was the best-performing Latin single of 1998 in the US and won the ASCAP Latin Award for "Super Song of the Year" in 1999. Today, "Asi Fue" is considered one of Juan Gabriel's very best compositions. Taking his cue from the great maestro, Cuervo has just recorded an updated version of the song, live in July of 2021 - both as a tribute and testament to the great composer. Because the song has aged so well and gained such great popularity over the years, Cuervo's new version is destined to make "Asi Fue" a huge hit for a new generation. Cuervo released his first studio album, Tras de Ti, in 2008 - which garnered great critical acclaim and spawned a No. 1 hit in Mexico. In 2013 he released the album Este Soy Yo resulting in several top ten hits on Mexican and Spanish radio, followed by a successful tour. In 2015 Cuervo's next album, titled Historias de Amor, debuted a video for the single "Como Yo Te Quiero" on Valentine's Day, which generated millions of views. A subsequent single, "La Receta," rose to the coveted No. 1 spot in the U.S on the Billboard Tropical charts. Cuervo scored a crossover hit with a simultaneous English version entitled "The Cure." His videos have garnered over 40 million views on YouTube, which features music videos for singles such as "Te Extraño", "Destino Casualidad", "Luna Cuentale", and "Te Quiero Para Mi." In addition to his recording accomplishments, Cuervo has been recognized with numerous awards for successfully raising funds and awareness for various social causes via his charitable foundation "Saber Amar." In March 2018 Cuervo released a video for the single "Vivirla Bien", generating over 11 million views on YouTube, making it his most viewed video to date.
