The Mexican band known for its signature cumbias is scheduled to perform at the Kennedy Center celebration airing Sept. 27 on PBS.
Los Ángeles Azules have forged their path across generations of cumbia listeners, from Iztapalapa to the world. Now they are set to perform and receive the 2024 Hispanic Heritage Award at the 37th Annual Hispanic Heritage Awards in Washington on Sept. 5. “We are very grateful to the Hispanic Heritage Awards for this great recognition of our long artistic career,” said co-founding member Elías Mejía Avante in a statement.
In 1997, it broke into the Latin music mainstream with its romantic ballad “Cómo Te Voy a Olvidar,” peaking at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. With more than 19 million monthly Spotify listeners, the bandmates are known for experimenting with cumbias sonideras, a synthesizer-heavy subgenre and have also created symphonic cumbias that incorporate classical orchestra instrumentation.
