Eugenio Derbez: My ’80s Acapulco Playlist

In celebration of the Apple TV+ original show Acapulco, take a step back through time and enjoy the songs that made Acapulco one of the biggest cities for nightlife in the ’80s, picked by star Eugenio Derbez. “To transport you into the world of 1980s Acapulco, I’ve pulled together some of my favourite memories,” he tells Apple Music. “From the emotional New Wave sounds of Soda Stereo to the infectious beat of Joe Jackson’s ‘Steppin’ Out’, Acapulco during this time period was an incredibly fun international playground that you’ll see on our show. Any given night you would hear the Pet Shop Boys or the Eurythmics mixed into Radio Futura or hear the romantic crooning of Marco Antonio Solis y Los Bukis and the best years of Juan Gabriel. I’d be remiss not to include some beautiful trio songs and boleros such as ‘Historia de un Amor’, which I hope gives you the sense of enjoying a delicious huachinango al mojo de ajo along the sea.”
