Pesado Live at The Brazos Valley Fair & Rodeo

The Brazos Valley Fair & Rodeo is excited to have Pesado on stage Sunday, October 23!

Grupo Pesado was born in the city of Monterrey , Nuevo León , in 1993 ; Its creators, the accordionist and singer Beto Zapata , and the bass quintista and singer Pepe Elizondo , decided to form this group, being fans of the music of their native land: the norteña. Convinced that their thing was to record with this musical style, little by little they imprinted on their proposal the norteño rhythms that have always characterized them, and the sounds of the accordion that Beto Zapata has produced since he was a child.

In each album, the Monterrey quintet includes some innovative element such as mixes of norteño music with Latin rhythms, with accordion, bajo sexto and drums. These sounds have made the perfect combination with the vocalist's nuance of voice, achieving a modern, fresh and very northern concept.

With several record productions to their credit and innumerable Gold and Platinum Records, Beto, Pepe, Luis Mario, Toño and Julio, have managed to place themselves since 1993 at the top of the popularity charts in the Mexican Republic , mainly in the area north, with hits like: “ I ask you please ”, “ Don't be afraid to cry ”, “ Who ”, “ Y Te Vas ”, “ Love has arrived ”, “ Help me ”, “ My New Song ”, “ Ask me ” and “ How do I do it? ”. These last two were included in his album " Mil Historias” and with them, they reaffirmed themselves as one of the most representative groups of norteño music in a large part of the American Union, appearing in the top 10 on the Regional Mexican list of the prestigious Billboard magazine, the most important in terms of music in United States .
