SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Just a month after the shocking announcement of their official retirement, the five sisters from Houston, Texas, known as Las Fenix, have added two performers for their final concert this month: Grupo Control and accordionist Dwayne Verheyden. The beloved Tejano group will take the stage one last time for “El Último Vuelo” in San Antonio, Texas, on Sunday, December 29th at the Majestic Theatre.
Grupo Control, known as “Los Reyes de la Cumbia,” has been a prominent figure in the regional Mexican music scene with their vibrant cumbia rhythms.
Las Fenix said about Control, “They were an inspiration to us and a big part of our beginnings! Sharing the stage and their audience with us, when we were just getting out there. We share moments together and thank you for the honor of having your support and talent in this latest performance.”
Dwayne Verheyden, a talented accordionist from the Netherlands, has made a name for himself in the Tejano and Tex-Mex music genres, drawing inspiration from legendary accordionist Flaco Jiménez.
Las Fenix shared the heartfelt news of their retirement via social media on November 11, stating in Spanish, “Music has been a part of our lives for more than 25 years, but each beginning has an end. First of all, thank you so much to God, our parents, our family, our husbands, and all of you for your unconditional support. Thank you so much for allowing us to make the stage our home and share so many unforgettable moments. Thanks to music, we have an unbreakable bond, and nothing or no one can take that away from us. We will always carry music with us. And the beautiful memories. The time has come to say goodbye to the stage. With a lot of peace in our hearts, we announce our official retirement. There are not enough words to express our gratitude, and first of all, thank you so much for your understanding, and know that we always carry you in our hearts. And for the last time, a kiss. With a lot of love, your friends, Las Fenix.”
Las Fenix, composed of sisters Nadia, Lesli, Adela, Berna, and Anahi, have been a staple in the Tejano music scene for over two decades. Known for their energetic performances and catchy tunes, the group has captivated audiences with their unique blend of Tejano, Norteño, and Cumbia music. Their journey began in their hometown of Houston, Texas, where they quickly gained popularity and a loyal fan base. Over the years, Las Fenix has released numerous albums and hit singles, earning them a special place in the hearts of Tejano music lovers. Their legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire future generations of musicians.
