Carlos Perez, vocalist, added: “We are extremely glad with our audience and the people from the Billboard for allowing us to be here.”

They are in the race with other great artists, such as Banda Sinaloense MS de Sergio Lizarraga, La Arrolladora Banda el Limon de Rene Camacho, Banda Carnaval and Voz de Mando.

The enthusiastic gang even celebrated the nominations by serenading VOXXI with a classic rancherafrom no other than Vicente Fernandez.

Trumpet player Mario Alvarado did not hesitate to show us his best “Chente” interpretation of “Por Tu Maldito Amor,” but left us wanting more.
