Alacranes Musical

Not only young and talented...but also the 4th generation of grass roots musicians from Durango: at the top of the popularity charts

This successful group—true duranguense pacesetters—became a fixture on Regional Mexican radio starting in 2004. The group was formed in November of 1995, choosing their name ("Scorpion") to pay homage to their rustic, arid home state of Durango. The band's unique blend of polka, cumbia and balada first caught audiences' attention with their 2003 debut Furia Alacranera.

As duranguense began to emerge as an undeniable force in the Regional Mexican music world, Alacranes Musical has released some of the top Spanish language releases of the year. Their album ‘100% Originales’ went a step further, making it onto Billboard's Top 200.

Meanwhile, Alacranes Musical continues to tour the U.S. and Mexico, bolstering their notoriety all over the continent with sold out-record-breaking concerts such as their performance at the Reliant Arena, before more that 72,000 people. Releasing an average of two original records a year, Alacranes topped their previous sales records with the 2006 album A Paso Firme, landing the number one spot on Billboard's Regional Mexican charts, and once again landing in Billboard's Top 200 and nowadays are located on the privileged #3 position in sales  for ringtones and music downloads in the U.S..

Alacranes Musical has not slowed their pace since then. Alacranes Musical, formed by the Urbina Family continues to give their loyal fans their music and their talent; and anticipate some surprises coming up as far as their next album is concerned.
