Grupo Firme Set to Release ‘Evolución’ Studio Album

Grupo Firme, the prominent Mexican music ensemble led by frontman Eduin Caz, has announced the release of their latest studio album, Evolución, scheduled for May 8, marking their first new material in three years.

Artistic Growth and Musical Arrangements

In an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone, Eduin Caz expressed the significance of this album, stating, “It’s an album that means a lot, because each song has a small piece of my work, and most of the songs I’ve composed have a part of me.” He elaborated that the band has shifted its focus from traditional live recordings to a more sophisticated approach with an emphasis on detailed arrangements in their music.

Album Artwork and Dedication

The album art features the Caz brothers—Eduin and Johnny—alongside other group members, posed against the majestic backdrop of the Colosseum in Rome. Eduin Caz remarked on the effort put into the album, mentioning, “We did a better job. It took us a long time to do it. We did it and made a difference. We dedicated all our hearts to this album.”

Previous Work and Upcoming Tours

Evolución arrives after their 2022 album Enfiestados Y Amanecidos, which included hit singles like “Algo Tranki” and “Efectos Del Alcohol.” Following its release, the band embarked on a stadium tour, showcasing their growing presence in the music industry.

Recent Collaborations and Future Plans

In a notable 2023 achievement, Grupo Firme fulfilled Eduin Caz’s aspiration to collaborate with Los Tucanes de Tijuana, recording live albums in Las Vegas. About this collaboration, Eduin shared his preference for individual artistry rather than partnering with other frontmen.

Looking ahead, Grupo Firme is set to continue touring through Mexico this summer, despite speculations about the band’s future after their participation in the Raultima Peda tour. They will also headline at the upcoming Mikelada Fest in Chicago and recently collaborated on the track “Marca Acme” with Maximo Grado.
