Real De Catorce is a renowned Mexican blues-rock band, known for their raw and emotive musical style that embodies the spirit of classic blues while infusing it with a distinctly Mexican sensibility. The band took its name from the ghost town Real de Catorce in the high desert of San Luis Potosí, a location steeped in history and legend, much like the band's music. Formed in the late 1970s by José Cruz Camargo, the band became a significant fixture in Mexico's rock scene during the 1980s and has maintained a strong following ever since with their lyrical storytelling and passionate performances.

Over the decades, Real De Catorce has built a discography that reflects their journey and musical evolution, with albums like "Al Rojo" capturing their earlier sound and "Azul" showcasing their blues influences. With "Nación Blues," the band continued to explore the depths of the genre, while "Una Razón para Vivir" and "Voy A Morir" solidify their enduring legacy in the sphere of Latin American blues-rock. Their live performances, as captured in "XXXVII Aniversario (En Vivo)," demonstrate the powerful connection they forge with audiences, a testament to their status as a legendary live act. The "Recopilación: Canciones Emblemáticas Seleccionadas por el Autor José Cruz" is a curated showcase of their most impactful work, evidencing Cruz's skill as a songwriter and the band's capacity to resonate with fans across generations.
