Enjambre new album proaño

After a successful tour throughout Mexico and several cities in the U.S. and South America in mid-2014, Enjambre started to record their fifth studio album, produced by the renown producer Phil Vinall (Placebo, Radio Head, Elástica, Zoé, ETC), at the Sonic Ranch Studios in Tornillo, Texas. The result is one of their most ambitious albums, Proaño.

The name of the album, Proaño is the name of a mine in the city of Fresnillo in the state of Zacatecas, the place where most of the group’s members grew up and formed their first band (Los Cuatro Fantásticos), a fertile region for rock and roll that produced outstanding artists during the seventies.

This new material by Enjambre stays true to those constant common denominators of the band, nostalgia, vintage sound, lyrics with bizarre and poetic rhymes, but with a more acid and also ballad-like twist. The first single, “Hematófago,” has been on popular song lists of radio stations in Mexico for several weeks since its release last September.

With the release of Proaño, Enjambre has proven once more that they are one of the most solid groups on the Mexican rock scene, positioning themselves as #1 on the sales charts, obtaining a Gold Record in Mexico and keeping the first positions on national sales charts for four weeks.

Enjambre - proaño

Enjambre, a group that is known on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border, especially in California where they became the group as we know it today and recorded their first records, presented their fifth studio album officially on November 28 at Plaza Condesa in Mexico City, with tickets selling out in less than a week. Proaño is undoubtedly an excellent follow-up record to the band’s discography that has been well received by both audiences and the specialized press.

Enjambre will begin a tour through Mexico and the United States during February and March, touring South America after that. Enjambre has also confirmed their appearance at this year’s Vive Latino Festival in March 2015, where they have performed successfully on the main stage in previous years. This is how this group, currently at home in the Mexican capital, enters a new phase the right way, and continues to move up to the top of the rock scene in their native country and beyond.
