Watch Grupo Frontera Sing Stirring Ballad “Ya Pedo Quién Sabe” on “Tonight Show”

Grupo Frontera performed an emotionally charged showcase of their single 'Ya Pedo Quién Sabe' on Thursday night (April 4th) Tonight show. Proudly representing the Rio Grande Valley by playing in front of a 956 neon sign – the area code of the border region they hail from – the band appeared rocking their customary black cowboy hats, with frontman Adelaido “Payo” Solís wearing a jacket university. .

The song – originally featuring mariacheño superstar Christian Nodal – whose title roughly translates to “when drunk, who knows” is about leaving behind a situation that no longer serves us. It also weaves the vulnerability experienced in love, which worsens as it is pedo. “But drunk, who knows/ One of these days, maybe I'll call you/ And with a few tequila shots on top/ I miss you up here/ And you know it,” Paio sings in Spanish against accordion riffs.

Written by Edgar Barrera, Horacio Palencia, Nathan Galante and Diego Bollella, and produced by Barrera, the song captures the essence of Grupo Frontera, channeling their Tejano suffering.

The six-member troupe on social media showed their gratitude for hosting the show on the iconic late night show, in a tweet, writing, “We had an amazing time, thank you so much for the night @jimmyfallon ✌🏼🤠🎶.”

Grupo Frontera is at the forefront of the new Tejano movement, following in the footsteps of legends like Intocable and Selena. Their meteoric rise to fame over the past year includes eight entries on the Billboard Hot 100 and numerous chart achievements. Collaborations with stars like Bad Bunny, Fuerza Regida and most recently Shakira on “(Entre Paréntesis)” — from her latest album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran — have further cemented their rising status in the music industry.

“Ya Pedo Quién Sabe” is their latest single from the group's upcoming album, which will be released later this month. Watch Grupo Frontera's full performance at The Tonight Show over.
