\n\tThe boys from Rio Grande Valley are heading to Nashville. On Wednesday evening, Grupo Frontera<\/a> announced that they\u2019ll be making their Grand Ole Opry<\/a> debut on Nov. 7 as part of the storied institution\u2019s centennial celebration.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201dMy people\u2026 we are very excited to make our @Opry debut!! This November 7, we\u2019re bringing our sound to Nashville,\u201d the norte\u00f1o-cumbia band wrote on Instagram. \u201cIt\u2019ll be a show in pure Frontera style.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFrontera leaned into country influences on their latest record, Jugando a Que No Pasa Nada<\/em>,<\/a> and told Rolling Stone<\/em> that they were inspired by George Strait and Morgan Wallen on the record. <\/p>\n \n\tThe band even sprinkled in pedal steel on their country-flecked rendition of \u201cHecha Pa\u2019 M\u00ed\u201d for NPR\u2019s Tiny Desk<\/a> back in April. They played around with a country-reggae fusion on \u201cPor Qu\u00e9 Ser\u00e1\u201d during that performance too.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe\u2019re a band that can play different styles, and all of us have different music tastes. Some of us like rap, R&B, country,\u201d frontman Payo Sol\u00eds told Variety<\/a><\/em> in May 2024. \u201cWe felt now, with putting out a second album, was the perfect time to experiment, and create something for everyone to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFrontera\u2019s performance comes nearly two years after Carin Le\u00f3n, the m\u00fasica mexicana heavyweight who has forayed into country music effortlessly, made history with his Opry debut in February 2024.<\/p>\n
