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.
Encore
The concert was an hour behind and no one made an announcement. Our drinks that were bought in the casino were thrown away.
It was so beutifull I ENJOIT I want to see them again
Great! Concert and venue looking forward to the next one.. I only did not appreciate how they did not allow us back in to buy a shirt.
Been to many many of their concerts throughout the years in the Bay Area, this time decided to come to Reno to enjoy of a good concert. And as always the music is just so good. It brings joy and feelings of happy almost euphoric to hear them play. You want to move and enjoy every second. I’ve been listening to them for over 30 years . My mom introduced me to them . I can’t speak enough of how great they are. I meet them after the concert . I made sure that they knew how amazing each individual part of the band makes them so great. I Talked to Elias the bass . He brings that power to the rythims I talked to Jorge the Accordionist , he can bust some amazing moves with that Accordeon I spoke with Jose ( Pepillo) man his talent to bring life to the music with the metals and drum set is just breath taking and the piano accompaniment with Alfredo ! He does amazing amazing amazing . I didn’t get to speak to Lupita and Cristina but they too played amazing. They make the beat of cumbia in a synergetic way with the instruments they use. I didn’t get a chance to congratulate the rest of the band ( non- family members .) but they all did so so good. I had a blast an amazing evening and best of all was meeting them in person and having a conversation with them as if it was friends I’ve know before.
It was everything I expected and more. I’ve been wanting to see them for 10 years now and the concert didn’t disappoint!! I can die happy lol 😜
Overall music was good. I noticed the beat was slower than on their soundtracks and the female singer was hard to hear. However, my biggest complaint is the audience. I had people standing in front of me blocking my view for at least half the concert. Asked nicely for them to sit but they kept standing to dance throughout the show. No security to ask people to stay in their seats like other concerts I’ve been to. For this reason I will never attend another concert like this.
The show was amazing as always. This band never lets the audience down. The music and show quality were top notch.
My dissatisfaction is with the seats. You charged me a ridiculous price for the worst seats. People paid d less money and got better seats.
It is so refreshing to be in a concert with an older crowd. The concert was excellent. The cumbias were nicely performed although I would have added a little more volume to the female singer, and a little bit more to the trombones. Overall, a nice, cool, chill concert. Well worth seeing them live.
The group is no really big deal as the amount we pay for.
I had so much fun. Even tho seats were very tight like viva aerobus.
The show was very disappointing most of the time they played songs that nobody knew , cumbia with no lyrics on them. They only play four popular songs
Well organized concert, accessible parking, no lines to get in. The sound quality was very good, lights, and the entire show was excellent.
The group showed up about 30 minutes late. The show overall was awesome. Very enjoyable. However it felt short to me even though it was about 2hrs.
Los Angeles Azules delivered a great Show! Thanks!
To say the truth the concert wasn’t as good as expected. It was actually kind of boring. The music was kind of low , sometimes you could barely hear the singers voice. Also not related to the singers. The way the location is set up is really sucks. For some reason people thing they can stand up in groups and start dancing in front of you. So as soon as they do you have 0 visibility of the state at all. So this happen about 70% of the night. So pretty much it was a waste of money.
Great concert the only problem was People behavior standing and dancing at the same time. There weren't events staff at least trying to keep order ..
I really enjoyed everything, I will recommend it to anyone
It was absolutely amazing. We had a great time singing and dancing.
Great experience shared with my family! The only thing was the late start.
