Fuerza Regida Lyrics

Fuerza Regida is a four-member group from California that's helping push forward the urban corrido movement.

Composed of Jose Garcia (tuba), Samuel Jaimez (requinto), Jesus Ortiz (lead singer) and Khrystian Ramos (six-string guitar), Fuerza Regida, which means “strength” and “govern,” officially became a group in March 2015, starting off as a local cover band who added East LA flavor to their music.

“In the beginning, we performed at many flyer parties and people would stop what they were doing to pay attention to our set,” frontman Jesus Ortiz tells Billboard. “After nearly two years, we started noticing that we had fans outside of our city and that our music began sounding in Los Angeles. We got really happy.”

“What really got us out there was a song that I wrote called ‘Radicamos en South Central.’ It really opened the doors for us,’’ he says. “Thanks to that song, Ramon Ruiz from Legado 7 discovered us and we got signed to two labels: his Lumbre Music and Rancho Humilde.”

Throughout 2019, Fuerza Regida landed on five Billboard charts: Hot Latin Songs, Latin Airplay, Regional Mexican Airplay, Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts. Their album Del Barrio Hasta Aqui debuted at No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Albums chart dated July 13, 2019. -Billboard-
