Los Ángeles Azules on Tour
The timeless cumbia rhythms of Los Ángeles Azules will crisscross El Norte this year. Launched in the early '80s by a half-dozen siblings of the Mejía Avante family, Los Ángeles Azules (Blue Angels) have surfed wave after wave of Latin music. It's been a long road, but their romantic take on Mexico's cumbia sonidera sound remains as popular as ever. Los Ángeles reignited once again last year with Esto sí es cumbia ("This Is Cumbia"), whose twist on original hits by Ha*Ash, Miguel Bose, Gloria Trevi, Yuri and other Latin stars hit the Regional Mexican Albums Top 10. They kicked off 2019 with "Nunca es suficiente" ("It's Never Enough"), written and sung by Natalia Lafourcade, which became Los Ángeles' first Regional Mexican chart-topper in 19 years. Live performances with the Mexico City Symphony Orchestra in 2016 demonstrated that cumbia belongs to everyone. But whether accompanied by a symphony or in their usual baker's-dozen configuration, expect to hear hits like "Cómo te voy a olvidar" ("How Could I Forget You"), "Por el amor a mi madre" ("For the Love of My Mother") and "El nuevo sonido de la cumbia" ("The New Sound of Cumbia").
Los Ángeles Azules in Concert
A family affair from the beginning, with more than two dozen albums to their name, Los Ángeles Azules began in 1983 as part of Mexico's young and rocking onda grupera movement. Formed by the Mejía Avante siblings Elías, Alfredo, José Hilario, Jorge, Cristina and Guadalupe, the band hit its first peak in 1996, when their chart-topping "Inolvidables" went platinum in Argentina, the group's second home. A new singer, Erick de la Peña, gave the band its biggest hit to date in 2002 with "Por el amor a mi madre" from the album Alas al mundo ("Wings to the World").
Los Ángeles' most recent surge began in 2013 with the album Cómo te voy a olvidar, an updated re-recording of the group's hits with guest vocalists including Carla Morrison, Lila Downs and Ximena Sariñana. And while the band's foundation in cumbia sonidera's ratcheting guïra rhythm and lilting accordion will never disappear, Los Ángeles Azules took their music to another level in 2016 with De plaza en plaza: Cumbia sinfónica, a glorious powerhouse blend of rootsy cumbia and sophisticated strings.
I love them! Great show. Grew up listening to their music. So much memories.
Nice show and safe place and good hospitality I am back
It was incredible, I danced and laughed. I had a wonderful time. Thank you
With a good stage presence and amazing sound, Los Angeles Azules were excellent - and fun. The rain outside posed no damper to the festive mood at all. Too bad the floor seating couldn't have been removed to make room for a dance floor. It's very hard not to dance to the great cumbias being played.
It was nice to see them again, from my townhome 🥰🥰
Started on time. That’s a plus and even though they only performed for about two hours the music was good the vibes were there. We danced all night!
Not great experience when people in your your row decided to get up to buy beer and use the restroom every 20 min !! if they wanted to get drunk they should stay home
My wife and I enjoyed the music from Los Angeles Azules but the music instruments the vibrating sounds needs to be improved in the walls because it was a bit too noisy. They need to upgrade the acoustic in the walls so that the sounds won't be that loud, especially in the back, But we had a great night at the concert. 🙂🙂😄😎👋.
The concert was good but I expected a more vivid concert from los Angeles Azules. The music was not the same, it was slow motion without life. The place of the performance setting was not ideal. They were sitting disable persons with big electric wheelchairs in the side of the sección few rows in front of me and blocked my vision. Harra’s center should have a specific place for this kind of wheelchairs. The place has the space to do it but the organizer prefer to put chair instead. The attendants were very kind and polite
This was our second show at the same venue, Harrah's Hotel and Casino, and loved that this time they invited a couple of artists, Angela Leiva and Jay de la Cueva were awesome! and a very pleasant surprise. The only observation is that the tempo/rhythm on a few songs was off which made them sound weird. Last year's performance had an after-concert party with a DJ which wasn't on this year, but that's more on the venue than the concert itself.
