Ariel Camacho

Recently this week a Mexican singer by then name of Ariel Camacho died in a fatal accident this Wednesday approximately at 2:00 am in the morning earlier this week in Sinaloa. He was the lead singer of his band Ariel Camacho y los Plebes del Rancho consisting of two guitar and a tuba. His name was trending on the social media of twitter by thousands of fans. He had recently been touring promoting his CD “El Karma” around the United States and Mexico. There were reportedly two other people in the car with him, but they survived. This is the second time in the past year that Camacho was involved in a car accident. In both crashes, speeding has been cited as the cause of the accidents. His music would have changed the genre of Mexican music and he would have gained more fans out of his great talent. A voice like his will never be found again and may he rest in peace.
