The Mavericks are switching tongues…
The Grammy-winning country band that blends Tex-Mex, neo-traditional country music, Latin and rockabilly influences has released its first-ever Spanish language album, En Español.
The new album by The Mavericks, comprised of Raul Malo,Eddie Perez, Jerry Dale McFadden and Paul Deakin, sees original member and lead singer Melo embrace his Latin roots.
En Español features a collection of their own Spanish language originals, as well as classic Latin tracks from which they drew inspiration.
“Even if you’re not fluent in Spanish, the rhythms, phrasing, and melodies are universal,” says the band of the 12-track album. “[It’s] a vibrant, sit-up-and-take-notice album… with mighty musicianship to get you out of your seat.”
