Univision aired the first promo for the bio-series based on the life of Joan Sebastian. "Por Siempre Joan Sebastian" is the official title of the production which was previously known as "En La Vida De Joan Sebastian" and "El Poeta Del Pueblo." This mini series is based on the life of the legendary singer-songwriter that will showcase his love of life and his passion for his music and his fans. Jose Manuel and Julián Figueroa (Joan Sebastian's sons) will play Joan's role at different stages of his life. Livia Brito will play the role of Maribel Guardia, one of Joan's true loves. This story will pay tribute to the "people's poet," as he is affectionately known. Watch the first teaser below and tell us what you think!
José Manuel Figueroa will honor his father by playing him during his adult years. "Thank you to every single one of you the scenes were great and they got to my soul," he said addressing the cast and crew. For Figueroa it must have been difficult to portray his late father while he was still grieving his loss. There was no one else in the production that would understand him more than his younger brotherJulián Figueroa, who will also play Sebastian, but during his younger years. "We are going to continue with the story of Joan Sebastian," Julián said. "We are good people, we fight to portray a good image, for the great education that our father gave us." He ended his speech by address his older brother and saying, "it was an honor to work with you."
Carla Estrada, who has produced some of the most epic Mexican telenovelas like "Amor Real," "Lazos De Amor," "El Privilegio De Amar," to name a few, is behind this television series. She said that in order to make this show happen she had to immerse herself into the life of Joan Sebastian. Estrada mentioned that she ended up admiring him and hopes that the series helps to underand and value the legacy of Joan Sebastian as an artist and human.
