Real de Catorce

Real de Catorce was a Mexican Blues band formed around 1985 by José Cruz (vocals), Fernando Ábrego (drums), and Severo Viñas who's place was afterwards taken by Juan Cristobal Pérez Grobet (bass) and José Iglesias in which place for the last albums played Julio Zea (guitar). The band created a very particular kind of blues full of feelings and deep messages through the lyrics which we could say were truly poetic and gained a good reputation around the blues circles. That reputation took them to play in places such as the Buddy Guy's Legends in Chicago with a small participation of the jazz writer and musician Alain Derbez (playing the Sax), among other artists. Due to a Jose's sclerosis problem, the band colapsed in 2007 leaving a wide discography, amazing compositions and a proof of a great mexican style blues. Read more on Last.fm.
