The GRAMMY, CMA & ACM winning Country, Americana, and Tejano infused Rock & Roll band The Mavericks will hit the road in support of their widely acclaimed, first ever Spanish language album, EN ESPAÑOL. The En Español World Tour will stop in Cincinnati, OH at Taft Theatre on Friday, November 11.
En Español scored a #1 debut on Billboard’s Latin Pop Albums Chart, became the first-ever album to notch simultaneous Latin & Americana Top-10 chart entries, and received ‘Best Of 2020’ praise from NPR, Rolling Stone, Pop Matters, The Tennessean and more.
Born of Cuban-American roots in Miami, and then long based in Nashville where they perfected their distinctive and eclectic Americana / Roots fusion of Country, Rock and Tejano/Tex-Mex influences, The Mavericks decided to expand their musical palette even further in 2019 with the release of their first All-Spanish language album in celebration of the Latin cultural roots of co-founder/singer Raul Malo and guitarist Eddie Perez. Comprised of a collection of their own Spanish language originals, and classic Latin tracks from which they drew inspiration, The Maverick’s “En Español” proved to be a groundbreaking project, uniting fans across cultures, genres and languages, right from its late August 2020 release, as the album notched #1 debuts on Billboard’s “Latin Pop Albums” chart, the iTunes and Amazon Latin Music charts and became the first-ever album landing simultaneously in the Top-10 of the Americana and Latin Music charts.
Reaction to the album has continued to grow even stronger since, with a wealth of media praise in The United State and Latin America, performances on Austin City Limits (PBS), The Latin Alternative Music Conference, and The Hispanic Heritage Awards, a current award nomination alongside Bad Bunny for the Best Independent Latin Album of the Year, and multiple “Best of 2020” album picks that impressively spanned, Mainstream, Country, Americana, and Latin music critic lists.
Now, The Mavericks commemorate this very special album chapter of their 30-year career, with “En Español Edicion Deluxe” expanding the collection to both meet existing fan requests for more Mavericks tracks in Spanish, and to give even wider audiences to discover this cultural celebration with the start of summer and the beloved live band returning again to concert stages with a quickly growing list of scheduled appearances.
