Summary
Joining us in the studio for the very first time, Grupo Frontera are one of the biggest acts in música mexicana. Three albums into their career, the McAllen, Texas six-piece—Adelaido Solís III (vocals), Juan Javier Cantú (accordion), Alberto "Beto" Acosta (bajo quinto), Carlos Guerrero (drums), Julián Peña Jr. (bass), and Carlos Zamora (keyboards)—have helped bring cumbia norteña to a global audience. Shaped by their Mexican-American upbringing, they've amassed billions of streams and scored worldwide hits including "No Se Va," "un x100to" with Bad Bunny, and "Coqueta." They join us to talk about their new EP, ‘Con Dolor.’ We talk about their unlikely beginnings as a wedding and quinceañera band, growing up in a border town, modernizing regional Mexican music while staying true to its roots, going independent, and how ‘Con Dolor’ fits into their discography. They also share stories about recording live together, collaborating with Bad Bunny, Shakira, and Maluma, "Coqueta" becoming a global smash after Barcelona's Champions League celebrations, playing the Grand Ole Opry, performing an incognito show at the U.S.-Mexico border, having multiple Presidents of Mexico count themselves as fans. Plus learning English watching Game of Thrones, writing "Un Solo Corazón" for Mexico’s official World Cup song, and so much more. With Apple Creator Studio, it’s all yours for the making.
