Los Ángeles Azules


Los Ángeles Azules are a Mexican musical group that plays the Mexican Cumbia genre, which is the style of cumbia adopted in various Mexican regions.

History

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.
The group went through various periods of popularity and various styles. In 1997, they had a huge hit with Cómo Te Voy a Olvidar. Later, in 2013, they re-recorded many hits with guest vocalists including Carla Morrison, Lila Downs, and Ximena Sariñana. 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.
In 2016, they issued De Plaza En Plaza, which features collaborations with Mexican artists Gloria Trevi, Yuri, and Natalia Lafourcade, Spanish musician Miguel Bosé, and the American duo Ha*Ash, among others. 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. The same year they recorded their twenty-seventh album Esto Sí Es Cumbia.
The album was officially released in June 2018, under the OCESA Seitrack. Esto Sí Es Cumbia consists entirely of cover songs, including 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. In 2018, they played on the Coachella Stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, marking the first time a traditional cumbia group played at the popular festival.
