2 Apr
Summary
- Grupo Firme shifts from banda to traditional mariachi with violins and guitars.
- The song "Cabrón y Medio" reflects on a past love with emotional vulnerability.
- This marks the band's first solo release of 2026, following several collaborations.
Grupo Firme, known for their vibrant banda music, has ventured into traditional mariachi with their latest single, "Cabrón y Medio." This new direction features the evocative sounds of violins, guitars, vihuela, and guitarrón, moving away from their typical brass-heavy arrangements.
The lyrical theme of "Cabrón y Medio," which translates to "bastard and a half," centers on poignant reflections of a long-lost love. The song captures a sense of emotional vulnerability, where memories and reality blur, creating a feeling of closeness to a past partner.
Accompanying the single is a music video directed by Mane Borja. It features vocalist Eduin Caz dressed in a sophisticated charro suit, with scenes depicting a broken family unfolding in the background, adding a layer of narrative depth.
This release is Grupo Firme's first solo offering of 2026, following a period of notable collaborations. These include "Súfrale" with Gloria Trevi, "Modo Difícil" with Grupo Frontera, "Que Te Quieran Bonito" with Luis Alfonso Partida "El Yaki," and "Ctrl + Z" with Lenin Ramírez. The band is currently on their La Última Peda Tour across South and Central America.
