Flor Silvestre

Born Guillermina Jiménez to an amateur singer, Flor Silvestre developed an early fascination with popular music. Her initial live performance occurred in Mexico City, where she soon took the stage name Flor Silvestre. First-place honors in a new-talent competition then enabled her to tour throughout Mexico as well as Central and South America. While she was promoting her first record, an acting career also took shape, and she wed the popular Latin artist Antonio Aguilar. The couple achieved local legendary status and raised two prominent figures in Mexican entertainment, Antonio Aguilar, Jr. and José Antonio Aguilar, known professionally as Pepe Aguilar. Over a distinguished career spanning recording, film, television, and stage work, Flor Silvestre passed away on November 25, 2020, at the age of 90.
