BBG News

As a fan who grew up listening to Dulce’s soulful ballads and watching her captivating performances, I am deeply saddened by the news of her passing. Dulce was more than just a singer or an actress; she was a symbol of resilience, determination, and passion that transcended borders and generations.

Sweet, the well-known Mexican singer, actress, and television host, recognized for her hits “Lobo,” “Your Doll,” “Let Me Return with You,” and “I Am a Lady,” has passed away. She was 69 years old.

On Wednesday, Bertha Elisa Noeggerath Cárdenas, popularly known as Dulce, passed away due to health issues, as reported by the Associated Press. In early December, she was hospitalized in Mexico City for lung problems and underwent a pleuropulmonary decortication surgery on Dec. 7, her team had announced earlier. This operation, also known as a pleurectomy, involves removing either all or part of the lining surrounding the lungs, along with visible tumors within the chest cavity.

After delaying several concerts scheduled for her 2024 tour due to health concerns, she was subsequently admitted to the hospital, as stated in a December 2 announcement. She explained that she was addressing a medical issue demanding attention and rest.

She assured, in her own words, that she was peaceful, under capable care, and certain that she would swiftly make a complete recovery.

On December 25th, Dulce’s loved ones and associates released a statement expressing that she was a remarkable artist and a truly admirable individual whose influence will remain deeply etched. They kindly requested the public to respect their need for solitude and tranquility as they navigate this challenging period of mourning in seclusion.

In a confirmatory post on Facebook, Isabel Noeggerath, her sister, stated the singer’s passing. The message read: “Dearest sibling, you now join our mother in heaven, crooning to her. I shall miss you dearly; may you find peace there. My love for you remains constant.

Originating from Matamoros, a city in Tamaulipas, Mexico, Dulce – a renowned female voice of the 1980s – graced popular local TV programs and international festivals, most recently featuring on the Netflix reality series “Siempre Reinas.” Her career took off in Monterrey before moving to Mexico City. Initially, she was part of the band Toby y Sus Amigos in the 1970s, as reported by Remezcla, and later collaborated with José Rómulo Sosa Ortiz, famously known as José José.

In 1978, she bagged the first place at the Mallorca Music Festival with a song titled “Señor Amor,” a composition by Armando Manzanero.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that Dulce has appeared in numerous Spanish-language telenovelas. Her career in this genre started with “Muñeca Rota” in 1978. Some other notable works include “Mujeres Engañadas” from 1999, the early 2000s’ series “Las Vías del Amor,” “Mundo de Fieras,” “Muchachitas Como Tú.” She made her big-screen debut in 1984 with the film “No vale nada la vida” and more recently featured in the TV shows “Vencer la Culpa,” “Vecinos,” and a few episodes of “Quiéreme Tonto.

Based on Luminate’s midyear music analysis, I’ve noticed an impressive surge in the popularity of Latin music compared to other genres during the past year.

Today, we honor a woman who not only realized her aspirations but also ignited countless others with her voice, zeal, and tenacity, as stated in an Instagram post from yesterday. The post included a recap of Dulce’s illustrious career. With a career that spanned across borders and musical genres, Dulce emerged as one of Mexico’s most iconic voices. However, her talent and achievements were not the only things that made her memorable; she was also a woman who instilled in us the confidence to believe in ourselves, chase our dreams, and never surrender. Thank you, Dulce, for your music, inspiration, and enduring legacy.

On Friday, a mass will be held in her honor at the Basílica de Guadalupe in Mexico City.

The Noeggerath Cárdenas, Mírcoli Noeggerath, González, and Mírcoli families extend an invitation to you all: let us honor her memory together and offer our prayers for her spirit. Her memory will forever remain a cherished part of each one of our hearts.
