To say that Alcranes Musical understands telenovela-style drama would be an understatement. Not only has the band’s music been featured in Mexican soap opera ‘Al Diablo Con Los Guapos’, but the bands own story is full of plot twists. Around 2010, the group split in half due to disagreements between band members. Both factions of the original band hired new members and continued to tour under the name Alcranes Musical. Thankfully, the dispute was resolved in 2011 and since then Alcranes Musical has been busy doing what it does best: bringing their brand of duranguense music to the world. The popularity of Alcranes Musical means that you will not have to try hard to hear their music. Tune into any Latin radio station and you’re bound to hear them. Nonetheless, Alcranes Musical is a band you really need to see live to appreciate. Their shows are about celebration: celebration of music, celebration of community, and celebration of heritage. Por Tu Amor, Por Amerte Así and Fue Su Amor are hits for a reason. They capture the spirit of this band. Go to an Alcranes Musical show and you won’t see a single person sitting down. Everybody will be dancing, and you will be too. Guaranteed.
