“This was born in a different year, as we all know. But a new world pushed them to try new things.
The band’s signature mix of norteño and banda still makes up the bulk of their sound. The performance shots are set against a backdrop of scrolling COVID-19 statistics from Mexico, where there have been almost 2 million cases and 161,000 deaths. We see the band partying with friends, followed by scenes of Ramos getting swabbed in a doctor’s office and eventually being intubated in a hospital bed. The accompanying video, released Friday, makes it even clearer. The album’s title track, written by Muñoz, puts the band’s health issues to song: “ We’re doing well/Little by little I am coming out of this sad story/And although it’s not easy I will soon sing victory.” It can also, of course, double as an ode to lost love. 1 song on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart and 21st top 10 on the overall Latin Airplay chart. The single “ Te Volvería a Elegir” became the band’s record-breaking 18th No.

The title is indeed a reference to the band’s response to a tumultuous year. Ramos says the band has since adhered closely to health guidelines and tried to stay home with family as much as possible “to remedy all the sadness that has happened, in a way, and project it into the music.” “ Vamos Bien,” the band’s 14th album, was released Friday. “But vamos bien (we’re doing well), like the record says.” Each member of the group also lost family members. “2020 has been a very, very complicated year in terms of health,” says tuba player Alejandro Gaxiola. Much of the group’s entourage was also infected. He was hospitalized for two weeks and near the point of intubation. Most of them had mild symptoms - headaches, fever - but guitarist Armando Ramos took a more serious hit. All four members of the regional Mexican band contracted it at the same time, in the early months of the ongoing pandemic. The guys of Calibre 50 know firsthand the impact of COVID-19.
