Los Ángeles Azules are a Mexican musical group that plays the cumbia sonidera genre, which is a cumbia subgenre using the accordion and synthesizers. This results in a fusion of the sounds of cumbia from the 1950-1970s with those of 1990s-style electronic music.[1]
The group got together in 1976, but started officially in 1980. It was formed by the siblings of the Mejía Avante family: Elías, Alfredo, José Hilario, Jorge, Cristina and Guadalupe.[1]
The group went through various periods of popularity and various styles. In 1997, they had a huge hit with Cómo Te Voy a Olvidar, re-recorded many hits with guest vocalists including Carla Morrison, Lila Downs, and Ximena Sariñana in 2013. In 2014, they launched a new musical genre cumbia sinfónica as they performed their greatest contemporary hits with the Mexico City Symphony Orchestra. Their subsequent album Cómo Te Voy a Olvidar Edición de Súper Lujo reached #5 on the Mexican regional music charts.[1]
In 2016, they issued De Plaza En Plaza, which features collaborations with Mexican artist Gloria Trevi, Yuri, Natalia Lafourcade, Spanish musician Miguel Bosé, American duo Ha*Ash, among others.[2] The first single from the album was "La Cumbia del Infinito" with Natalia Lafourcade and Rodrigo & Gabriela; released on June 3, 2016. The second single "Mi Niña Mujer" with Ha*Ash was released on August 5, 2016.[3] The same year they recorded their twenty-seventh album Esto Sí Es Cumbia.[4]
The album was officially released in June 2018, under the OCESA Seitrack.[5]Esto Sí Es Cumbia consists entirely of cover songs.[5] Included interpretations of "Nunca Es Suficiente" with Natalia Lafourcade, "Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte" with Ana Torroja, "Perdón, Perdón" with Ha*Ash, "El Amor Después del Amor" with Fito Paéz, among others.[6] In 2018, they played on the Coachella Stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, making it the first time a traditional cumbia group has played at the popular festival.[7]
