Tejano hit producers Grupo Frontera give their fans an exclusive look at what a typical day on tour looks like and how they spend the last few hours before the show.
Hailing from the border town of Edinburg, Texas, the six-piece band is currently halfway through the 38-date Jugando A Que No Pasa Nada tour in support of their 2024 self-titled album, across the United States, Mexico and Canada.
During a recent stop at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on August 29, the team invited Bulletin board backstage to share insights into their tour dynamic and the deep connection they create with audiences, especially the Mexican community.
“Seeing the Mexican flag in an arena like this honestly makes me feel at home,” one concertgoer shared. Another fan emphasized the unifying power of their music, noting, “I think it's a really beautiful thing that Mexican music brings a lot of people together, people who don't understand Spanish or speak the language, but they're still here — and they're listening to our music.” . The event also attracted Dominican and Puerto Rican fans, many of whom were introduced to Grupo Frontera through their collaborations with artists such as Bad Bunny and Arcángel.
“Meeting a bunch of Mexicans here in New York, Chicago, Washington or wherever we're going to play, I feel like there's just that connection. O sea, la raza [the Mexican race],” said frontman Adelaido “Payo” Solís Bulletin board.
“But what's even crazier is that everywhere we go – literally every place we play – people tell us, 'Oh, I'm from The Valley too.' Where we come from! That's crazy, because I'm like, “What are you doing over here, bro?” Like, you're a long way from home!” he continued, also noting the universal appeal of Mexican music, which unites people regardless of language.
Bulletin boardtour Stop with Grupo Frontera also caught the band relaxing with a game of basketball and discussing their personal favorites, from Frontera songs to food. They expressed gratitude to their fans, including an emotional shout-out to a blind girl who writes them letters in Braille.
