Press

“Frontera Bugalú's Latin rhythms are here to shake hips and tap toes, regardless of age.”

— Raymundo Aguirre, What's Up Weekly

“I returned to NYC with the idea of devising a fundraising event that would call attention to the infernal narco war in Mexico. I also brought back the sounds of Frontera Bugalú in my head and in my heart. ”

— T. J English, T. J English Online

“Listen to Frontera Bugalú and you’ll hear a generation that was raised on rock music and rock en español, but who were also listening to the Latin music of their parents and grandparents.”

— Roberto Avant-Mier, "LET THE HIPS MOVE AND THE ELBOWS FLY" - CD Review

“The result, Frontera Bugalú, is a group of thirtysomething border musicians who fuse their rock, punk and metal influences with cumbias, salsa and the Caribbean tropical dance music of southern and west coastal Mexico. Call it nuevo cumbia.”

— Doug Pullen, El Paso Times

“They play an interesting blend of latin music and feature a plethora of instruments utilized in interesting combinations. They are fun to listen to, engaging to watch, they have a good beat, and you can dance to them!”

— Lorraine Kubala, El Paso Times - Musical Notes

“If anyone could've found a klezmer connection to border cumbias it was bound to be youthful, innovative El Paso traditionalists Frontera Bugalú, who throw a clarinet into a dance mix — just because they can. ”

— Hector Saldaña, MySanAntonio.com

“El nombre de la agrupación surgió en homenaje al Bugalú, una corriente musical surgida entre las comunidades cubanas y puertorriqueñas en el Nueva York de los 60s y 70s, y la música tropical que se bailaba en las fronteras de México y Estados Unidos de esa misma época. ”

— Cynthia Camacho, El Diario

"many lured by Bugalu's booty-shaking Mexican dance music"

— Doug Pullen, Pullen My Blog: A look at the national music scene

"and, from El Paso, Texas, yet another group of young musicians who look like grad students playing a glorious "wall of sound" of Indie Latin rock (or is that Latin Indie Rock?)- the engaging Frontera Bugalú:"

— BBBB, Big Bad Bald Bastard

““FRONTERA BUGALU” combines popular afro-latin styles with the border sound, which includes the more Mexican and South-American cumbias, merengues, and rancheras. ”

— Albor Ruiz - Ny Local, NY Daily News

"In late 2009 a caravan of musicians came together and said, “let’s bugalu.” With musical experience and some insight, they formed Frontera Bugalu, a modern latino band."

— Michael Ramirez, EP Culture Beat
