In the 1960s,Juve Aldacobegan the family band known as “Grupo Aldaco” that continued until 2010 when the family band was renamed to its current brand by Carlos Aldaco in 2018. Carlos continues the musical legacy of his grandfather, Juve, who sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears to get the band recognition while taking pride in their heritage, struggles, and triumphs of the musical journey.
The current group has been working hard in the studio on their highly-anticipated debut album3rd Generationand just-released second single “Nomas Contigo.” The song expresses passion and tells the story of a well-known love once held onto, now departed and only reminiscing and craving for her to return to console his pain, staying hopeful that it would be similar to before.
