Grupo Firme performed at halftime of the Week 11 Monday Night Football game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals on November 22. The Mexican band rocked the stage with their song “Ya superame” during the NFL halftime. The game is held at Mexico’s Estadio Azteca stadium.
Who are Grupo Firme?
Grupo Firme was founded in Tijuana in 2014 by Eduin Cazares and Jairo Corrales. They released their debut album Pasado, Presente, Futuro, which included twelve songs, in 2017. It was not a huge success, but it got them noticed by the music industry. They followed that up with albums like El Barco and En Vivo desde Tijuana: Los Buitrones y Los Firmes.
They perform Banda music and are also linked to the Norteo genre. The Group Firme band plays brass and wind instruments and has socially relevant lyrics. The band is extremely popular, with over 13 million Spotify streams per month. To put it in context, that’s comparable to acts like Luke Bryan and Morgan Wallen in the United States.
The group rose to prominence in 2020 with the release of the singles Pideme, El Roto, and Juro Por Dios. Later that year, they toured Colombia and recorded a live album called En Vivo desde Medellin, Colombia. They were nominated for the Premios Juventud in 2020.
They won five of the six Premio Lo Nuestro nominations in 2021 and four Premios Juventud awards. For their album Nos Divertimos Lo Grando Lo Imposible, they received their first Latin Grammy on November 18.
The group’s popularity increased in 2022 when they started a stadium tour called Enfiestados y Amanecidos that started at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California and travelled throughout the United States and Mexico.
