Alacranes Musical

Although this 8-member band got together in 1998, it wasn’t until 2003, with the release of their first album, Furia Alacranera, that the band started to get some real recognition. But it was with their 2004 album A Cambio de Que that they became a regular on Mexican radio and slowly becoming a household name.

Alacranes Musical (in English meaning musical scorpions) are inspired by the music from Durango, Mexico. Their music is known under the genre of duranguense.

The members include: Oscar Urbina, Rene Urbina, Memo Ibarra, Chris Urbina, Hector Urbina, Rudy Avitia, Eric Urbina, and Omar Sanchez.

Wasting no time, Alacranes Musical released a third album in 2005 entitled 100% Originales, that made it to the Billboard’s Top 200.

Because releasing three albums in three years wasn’t enough, Alacranes Musical toured around both Mexico and the United States making appearances in anything from dancehalls to festivals, gaining in popularity.

The band released their fourth album in 2006 called A Paso Firme. This record sold more than any of their previous albums as well as securing the number one spot on Billboard’s Regional Mexican chart. Alacranes Musical produced two other albums in 2006.

In 2007, they released their hot single, Por Amarte Así, which was later featured on the release of their album Ahora y Siempre, which reached number one on the Billboard charts. Their album Ahora y Siempre was also nominated for a Latin Grammy.

2008 was also a big year for the group, releasing their single Dame Tu Amor, as well as their album Tu Inspiración.

Alacranes Musical just released their ninth album on February 17 of this year. This album, Alacranes Musical Live- en Vivo Desde México, is a recording of them playing live.

Now known all over the world, the group hasn’t slowed down a bit. Still touring around the world, they continue to write new and inspirational music that has touched the hearts of so many.



All of their music is available on iTunes.
