The Miami-born band reunited in 2012 reigniting their fusion of Latino and American music.
㽶ƵֱWe㽶Ƶֱre going to be bringing stuff out from the very early material right up to the most current,㽶Ƶֱ said guitarist and long-time Maverick Eddie Perez.
㽶ƵֱAnd we㽶Ƶֱre going to present that in a way that㽶Ƶֱs a little special. A real production, shall we say!㽶Ƶֱ
Since the band reunited, they promised they would never become a 㽶Ƶֱnostalgia act.㽶Ƶֱ
㽶ƵֱI㽶Ƶֱm not one to look back, I never have been,㽶Ƶֱ said co-founder, singer and key songwriter Raul Malo. 㽶ƵֱI always want to move forward with our music and look to the future, and our fans want that too 㽶Ƶֱ they always respond really well to every new album.
㽶ƵֱBut if you can㽶Ƶֱt celebrate 30 years in such a tough business as the music industry, what can you celebrate? I㽶Ƶֱm proud that we㽶Ƶֱve made our mark and it㽶Ƶֱs good to celebrate that. I think we㽶Ƶֱve found the perfect way to mark these 30 years without thinking only about the past and I㽶Ƶֱm really excited to get out and play these shows.㽶Ƶֱ
In 1996 the group won a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for their song Here Comes the Rain. The track also reached number four on the Canadian country charts.
