La Fiebre

 The “Bad Boys From Pasadena,” “The Pride Of Pasadena,” “The Fever Boys,” – whichever titleyou associate them with the most, the group that lays claim to each of those titles is back to entertain their fans once again. LA FIEBRE – original members PETE ESPINOZA, JOE ANGEL REYNOSA, RUDY ROCHA, ERIC JIMENEZ and LUIS AYALA – has joined forces for the first time in nearly ten years to embark on a reunion tour and launch their highly-anticipated new album, REUNIDOS.

The tour and album is in direct response to the overwhelming demand made by fans. LA FIEBRE will tour in support of REUNIDOS and will perform new material from the album, as well as songs from their classic catalog of hits.

It’s hard to imagine that it’s been almost a decade since the original line-up of LA FIEBRE performed together. Armed with one of the most explosive shows in Latin music, LA FIEBRE quickly became a major draw on the Tex-Mex circuit in the late eighties and early nineties. Their shows became spectacle and typically consisted of smoke, lights and pyrotechnics combined with a state-of-the-art sound system to produce a caliber of show that was a rarity for Latin audiences, (especially Tex-Mex audiences). The group also benefited from a string of hit albums that catapulted them to the top of sales charts and radio playlists across the country. Gold and platinum-selling albums such as “On The Rise,” “No Cure,” and “911,” firmly established the group as trendsetters in an industry that was, at the time, filled with cookie-cutter bands.

In 1998, LA FIEBRE reached a milestone in their career when they received a Grammy nomination in the Best Tejano Album category for their “Fiebre Live…En Concierto!” album. That album, which was primarily recorded at Freddie Fest in Corpus Christi and a performance in San Antonio, proved to be a commercial success, and also proved to everyone that LA FIEBRE was still very much a force in the industry.

Noted songwriters JOE REVELEZ and HUMBERTO RAMON, as well as studio musician extraordinaire JERRY DE LA ROSA, also contributed their production and writing expertise. In fact, the first single from REUNIDOS is a track called “Quiero,” co-written by REVELEZ and ESPINOZA.

Most of the material on REUNIDOS is original with ESPINOZA having contributed several of the album’s cuts. In addition to “Quiero,” ESPINOZA also wrote “Si Tu Me Faltas,” and co-wrote the track “Cuando Yo Te Conoci,” with REYNOSA. In addition, LA FIEBRE decided to include a tribute to one of their personal heroes, (the late former Beatle GEORGE HARRISON), with a Spanish version of “Here Comes The Sun,” retitled, “Hoy Llega El Sol”.

The future looks very promising for LA FIEBRE. Although the band is optimistic, the members don’t want to speculate on how long the REUNIDOS tour will actually last. “We don’t have a master plan, we just want to go out there and entertain our fans and have a good time,” said REYNOSA. “After being apart for so long, we’re all good friends again and enjoying this opportunity”. REYNOSA added, “I know this is going to bring back a lot of great memories for the fans and for everyone involved”.

And like all great bands, as long as fans continue to believe in the energy and excitement of LA FIEBRE, their music will continue to live on.
