Formed in 2011, LA-based Grupo Bella is fronted by GRAMMY-award winning vocalist and GRAMMY-nominated composer Vanessa Ramirez. With an ever-evolving sound, the quintet brings their own interpretations of Mexican Folk with a depth supported by adept musicianship and sheer passion. Their instrumentation is familiarly Mariachi, which is thrown for a loop with an enticing fusion of Mexican Pop, Boleros, Huasteco, and even an American Classic influence. But don’t take these few styles as a limitation, they’re only the cusp of what Grupo Bella has to offer. The creation of the band’s flavor seems almost serendipitous, paying homage to music of the past while pushing the boundaries and carrying on the legacy of a sound with a vibrant history.
