Los Macorinos, composed of Juan Carlos Allende and Miguel Peña, are iconic figures in the realm of traditional Mexican music, widely recognized for their mastery in playing the guitar. Their career witnessed a significant boost when they collaborated with the GRAMMY-winning artist Natalia Lafourcade, particularly on the album "Musas," a homage to Latin American folklore that garnered extensive acclaim and showcased the duo's exceptional musicianship and deep connection to the roots of Mexican music.
Before their collaboration with Lafourcade, Allende and Peña had already established a reputable career. They were best known for their long-standing partnership with Chavela Vargas, another legendary figure in Mexican music, contributing to her unique sound with their traditional strumming and impeccable timing. This partnership not only enriched their career but also cemented their status as stewards of the cultural and musical heritage of Mexico. With releases like "Cantamencanto" and "Guitarreros," Los Macorinos continue to explore and celebrate the richness of Latin American music, blending traditional sounds with contemporary influences to create timeless pieces. Their music resonates with a deep sense of nostalgia and emotion, capturing the essence of storied compositions while introducing them to new generations.
