Biography
Los Ãngeles Azules are a Mexican musical group playing the cumbia sonidera genre, a variation on cumbia with accordion and synthesizer effect resulting in a fusion of the sounds of cumbia from the 1950-1970s with those of 1990s-style electronic music.
The group got together in 1976 but started officially in 1983, playing the onda grupera genre, formed by the siblings of the MejÃa Avante family: ElÃas, Alfredo, José Hilario, Jorge, Cristina and Guadalupe.
The group went through various periods of popularity and various styles. In 2013 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 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 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.
