Andrew Rodriguez, a name synonymous with vibrant Conjunto rhythms and soulful vocal prowess, has once again captured the spotlight with the launch of his new band, Feroz. The ensemble, comprised of esteemed musicians Miguel Sanchez on bass, Jesse Flores wielding the bajo, Leo Aguilera on accordion, and Johnny Hernandez keeping the beat on drums, marks a fresh chapter in Rodriguez’s illustrious career.
The debut single, “Anoche Estuve Llorando,” serves as a tantalizing preview of a six-song EP from Feroz, which is already generating buzz for its heartfelt storytelling and rich musicality on five Conjunto tracks and one cumbia, produced by Latin Grammy winner Lorenzo “Papo” Banda. As the former lead vocalist of the South TX Homies, Rodriguez’s transition to Feroz signifies not just a change in lineup but a renewed commitment to the Conjunto genre’s evolution.
Rodriguez’s journey to this point has been nothing short of remarkable. His accolades, including a Latin Grammy nomination and induction into the Tejano ROOTS Hall of Fame, speak volumes of his contributions to the cultural tapestry of Conjunto music. With Feroz, Rodriguez aims to honor the traditional sounds that have shaped his career while infusing them with contemporary flair.
The anticipation for Feroz’s debut EP is evident, with fans eagerly awaiting the full experience that “Anoche Estuve Llorando” promises. This lead single is more than just a song; it’s a statement of artistic identity and a beacon for the future of Conjunto music.
