The massive migration from the countryside to the cities (mostly to Mexico City) during the 1940s fed the required labor force for rising manufacturing industries. This urbanization created the "working neighborhoods" and the culture of "la vecindad" (group of small apartments around a common patio), and found in Pedro Infante an identifiable icon for these, the new urban working class, with his character Pepe el Toro (Pepe the Bull) in the melodramatic trilogy made up of Nosotros los pobres

When Jorge Negrete died in 1953, Pedro was no longer in the shadow of the international idol, even though Pedro was very affected by the disappearance of his idol.

Many friends, family and fans still dress up as the characters that he played in film: Pedro Chávez, Pepe el Toro, Tizoc and a number of personas incarnated from the Mexican culture that Infante symbolized. His fans honor him every year with a mass, honor guards, music and the songs made famous by the Idol of Guamúchil.

Since the fatal plane crash, the anniversary of Pedro Infante's demise is celebrated at the family estate of Don Rubén Canto Sosa and Doña María Remigia García Suaste. To this day, in Mérida, the son of this family, attorney Luis Canto García, continues that commemoration.

The death of Pedro Infante on the morning of April 15, 1957 was announced by radio personality Humberto Rodríguez, of radio station XEMH of Mérida, after one of the firefighters discovered the bracelet engraved with the name "Pedro Infante", plus the winged ornament that symbolized the license of Pedro as an aviator. This was around 8:15 am; at 11:12 am, Manuel Bernal, of Mexico City radio station XEW

The social phenomenon of Pedro Infante

The Mexican idol died intestate. Because of this, the main beneficiaries of his legacy have been the producers of the extremely successful movies in which he starred, as well as the "Peerless" music company (now associated with Warner Music), and thanks to the large income his pictures and songs still generate, they are the ones who have contributed greatly to promoting and updating him.

Some fanatics even speculated that his death was faked.
