The first nationwide hit for Calibre 50 was “El tierno se fue”, released in 2011, which was sexually explicit and innuendo-laden. The group rose to fame with their controversial songs, which included corridos, which is a type of Mexican ballad that is often about oppression, the vaquero lifestyle and other social topics. However, they changed the name after the original Colmillo Norteno sued them to Calibre 50. The group named itself Puro Colmillo Norteno. Listen to Regional Mexican music with Calibre 50 tickets. Munoz recruited Augusto Guido on drums, guitarist Armando Ramos and Martin Lopez on tuba. The difference is that the low notes are played by sousaphone or tuba for the low notes rather than an electric bass or the Mexican traditional instrument tololoche.Īccordionist Eden Munoz founded the band after performing in Colmillo Norteno, which had released the 2009 hit songs “Sueno guajiro” and “Hotel El Cid,” after having conflicts with the other band members. The group’s style is a hybrid of Norteno called Norteno-Banda.
The Regional Mexican band Calibre 50 was founded in Mazatlan in the state of Sinaloa in 2010. Enjoy Norteno-Banda music with Calibre 50 tickets.
