Group's First-Ever Spanish Language Album On Double LP!
NPR's The 50 Best Albums Of 2020 - Rated 40/50!
Fresh off their 30th Anniversary & World Tour in 2019, the genre-bending, multi-platinum selling Mavericks are changing the game once again with the release of their first-ever Latin format album En Español. Produced by the band's longtime creative partner Niko Bolas (Neil Young, Prince, Sheryl Crow) and Mavericks lead singer & principal songwriter Raul Malo, En Español features a compelling mix of standards and Spanish-language originals in signature Mavericks style.
The Mavericks are a GRAMMY, ACM, and CMA Award-winning band, most recently named 2015 Americana Group of the Year. The album features special contributions from longtime collaborators, Grammy-winning keyboardist and arranger Alberto Salas and Tejano accordion legend Flaco Jiménez.
For decades, country and Americana fans have marveled at Mavericks frontman Raul Malo's ringing tenor, asking each other, 'Where does it come from?' Here's one answer. Malo grew up bilingual in Miami, in a Cuban family, and throughout his career he's taken cues from a global array of Spanish-language music in honing his own sound. The band's first all-Spanish language album shows its mastery in many forms, from Mexican son jarocho to Cuban mambo and the Mexican-American Tejano sound. The Mavericks originated as a Florida party band, and brings its trademark verve and versatility to a set that persuades instead of posturing, expanding minds by melting hearts.
