On Sunday afternoon, regional Mexican singer Bobby Pulido took to Instagram to post a touching Father’s Day message for his children and the man who taught him the ropes, his dad, Tejano legend Roberto Pulido.
A Bilingual Tribute To Dad
Pulido’s caption opened in Spanish: “Ser papá es lo mejor que me ha pasado. No hay nada como el amor que siento por mis hijos, ellos son mi mayor motivación. Y tengo que reconocer al hombre que me enseñó el camino, mi papá, Roberto Pulido. No solo es un gran padre… también es una gran persona. Me siento orgulloso de ser su hijo. Que todos los papás se sientan bien celebrados hoy. ¡Se lo merecen! #FelizDiaDelPadre”
He then shared the exact English translation on the same post: “Being a dad is hands down the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Nothing compares to the love I feel for my boys, they’re my biggest motivation. And I’ve got to give it up to the man who showed me the way, my dad, Roberto Pulido. He’s not just a great father… he’s a great human being. I’m proud to be his son. Hope all the dads out there feel the love today. You deserve it. #HappyFathersDay”
With a carousel of six candid photos, Bobby Pulido captured moments at home: playing in the backyard with his sons, a group hug, and a framed portrait of three generations of Pulidos smiling together.
Spotlight On Roberto Pulido’s Legacy
Roberto Pulido, born in 1950, is widely recognized as one of the pioneering voices of Tejano music. Known as “El Primo,” he founded Roberto Pulido y Los Clásicos in the 1970s and earned a Latin Grammy nomination in 2000. Over five decades, he’s released more than 30 albums, blending conjunto, country, and norteño influences. Bobby often credits his dad for instilling a work ethic that guided him toward solo stardom in the late ’90s.
Celebrating Through Music
The father-son bond extends beyond private life. Earlier this year, during his farewell run, Bobby invited Roberto on stage in Querétaro to perform Bobby’s signature hit “Desvelado” together in front of thousands of fans. That moment—which Bobby shared on Instagram with the caption “Porque Papá También Canta ‘Desvelado’—sparked viral applause and underlined how music remains their shared passion.
Father-son Stage Reunion In Austin
Just days before this year’s Father’s Day, Bobby announced an added ticket release for an Austin show, noting he’d be sharing the stage once again with his dad: “I’m so excited to be back and even more honored to share the stage with my dad, Roberto Pulido, on this special Por La Puerta Grande farewell tour.” Their duet performance at the Long Center highlighted the tight-knit relationship that fans have followed since Bobby’s debut album in 1995.
As Bobby wraps up media appearances for the “Por la Puerta Grande Tour,” he’s promised more family time before returning to the studio. He’s also teased new music collaborations, but for now, the golden boy of Tejano is simply grateful for moments like these: celebrating fatherhood and honoring the man who taught him every step of the way.
Bobby Pulido’s Father’s Day post not only underscores his devotion as a dad but also shines a light on a musical dynasty that spans generations. It’s a reminder that behind every hit and every encore is a legacy of love, lessons, and the next generation ready to carry the torch.
