Fuerza Regida Essentials

Fuerza Regida Essentials

Exhibiting explicitness and sincerity in their music that, at times, verges on empathy for narcos, the Southern California norteño quartet Fuerza Regida extol the virtues and inherent vices of the drug trade. With the thematic veracity of contemporary trap and the vintage inspiration of 1950s mariachi groups like Las Adelitas, singer Jesus Ortiz—often accompanied by a jaunty accordion, pumping tuba and hectoring horns—tends to focus his attention on those individuals who toil amid the hustle, be they working in the fields or in the streets. Immersive and unapologetic originals like “30 Kilos” and “Adicto” capture this uncompromising ethos, while their Pisteando Con La Regida covers series pays faithful homage to their corridos predecessors.
