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.

Oh my gosh so much fun! They always bring amazing vibes and dances the whole concert long. Great time great performance. I love Los Angeles Azules 💕
I had an amazing time. I was hoping they would play a few more of the newer songs, especially since they got started a bit late, but it was still a great show and I danced so much. I would love to see them at a venue where partner dancing is allowed as well. The attendants were all super nice too.
I really love going to Angeles Azules Concert great cumbia music love the vibes. Just would prefer more open dance environment since this music wants to make you get up and dance. If you go to a closed arena it’s hard to dance which I really didn’t like. You can’t stand up cause you’re blocking someone else and they get upset. Or there older people that can’t be standing. That’s the downside. I would prefer when they have it beach area etc.
Very well organized event, I would recommend 100%.
They bring enthusiasm to the show and listen to the audience’s requests. Loved it!
What an incredible experience and energy they have , we dance off till our feet bleed , lol .
The Band is very energetic, and the music is great. The lower part of the venue is too flat, making it hard to look up and see the band. The acoustics were too loud, and I had to wear ear plugs. one of the ushers was so nice and helpful, and she danced along!!
The sound system inside the pavilion was low. Which it was. Bit louder to feel like you’re in a concert & Not In your own backyard.
What a great show, couldn't stop dancing looking forward to seeing em again
All was wonderful love this band they are top and best
Be great! Are a wonderfull concert very recomended
Could barely hear the singers. Volume on mics were too low. Beat for every song was like in slow motion. Loved all the songs played. I was expecting it to be much better.
Great concert and great service from the attendants
The concert was awesome. Totally kept us in the dancing mood all night.
I had a front row, center stage seat. The music was great and I loved the show. This was my 2nd time seeing them and I can't wait to see them again!
Had a great time with my husband, Los Angeles Azules put on a great show. Would definitely recommend it.
What a great performance from Los Angeles Azules. I was a remarkable and memorial night for both my wife and I. The music was fantastic and man it was jam packed. That’s Angeles Azules for an incredible night of straight cumbias. Hope you guys come down to the 956 soon!
I was surprised to see they have many new young singers. The best part was when the older gentleman sang El Liston de tu Pelo. Then it sounded like the original Angeles Azules.
The most boring concert! My mon was looking forward to this concert for a long time and we were all very disappointed
Los Angeles Azules is one of my wife’s and I favorite band. We have seen them live 5 times. We had bought tickets to this show in McAllen Texas and for the very next day in Laredo Texas. We were so sadly disappointed in the McAllen performance that we sold our tickets to the next day show 2 hours away. The tempo was way off, the sound was not good and the performance was not the same. The venue Payne arena has gone down in quality making it an even sadder experience. Will I go see them again definitely but for this particular performance it was so bad we chose not to go to the next nights show.
