Fuerza Regida adds a stop in November Valley for its “Pero No Te Enamores” tour

GLENDALE, AZ — Jesús Ortiz Paz, better known as JOP, is bringing new energy with Fuerza Regida’s new tour, “Pero No Te Enamores!” The hit Mexican band recently toured the Valley with two shows at the Footprint Center in June…and they’re ready to return to Arizona!

Fuerza Regida will perform at Desert Diamond Arena on November 27th!

The show will begin at 8 p.m. on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Tickets are on sale now and start at $59, at last check.

Fuerza Regida’s large social media following – over 7 million followers on Instagram alone – has inevitably played a role in their rise to fame, in addition to the band’s work ethic.

“We always wanted this, you know, we’re grateful; we always worked really hard for it. I always say hard work beats talent. (…) We can experience it with family… you know, nothing less is lacking in my love and my love, “So it’s a blessing,” JOP said.

To continue their success, the group is working on another album.

“Stay tuned for the album. You know, we have an album coming. I don’t know when, I’m not going to tell you when (just) stay tuned for the album. After the two shows sell out in Phoenix, we have some more shows in the States, so go check them out. Get your tickets on Ticketmaster. Thank you so much,” JOP said.

Fuerza Regida is known for hits such as Pa Las Baby’s, Una Cerveza, TQM, Bebé Dame, Igualito a mi Apá and other songs that fueled the Mexican corrido movement.

ONE ON ONE WITH JOP

If you weren’t able to attend the June shows, what can you expect on the tour?

“We have a completely new tour, a completely new show, new songs and (…) we love Phoenix, so every time we go to Phoenix, we’re there,” JOP told ABC15.

According to the band’s lead singer, there will be a completely “new production” for these upcoming concert dates.

“Production is like the stage, the lights, the fire, all that (…) we did so many new things, it’s a new configuration. We usually do 180, now it’s 360… so you have to go for it. You can’t miss it,” JOP said.

Local artist Tito Torbellino Jr. collaborated with Fuerza Regida for their album, No What Happens. The song “Gente Nueva” has over 20 million views on YouTube.

“It was awesome, you know, because we all heard his dad when we were younger. It was like singing along with the Pops. You know, he was reincarnated as his son,” JOP said in an interview with ABC15. “So it was really awesome, he’s my buddy. Shout-out to Tito, you know, we’ll see if he comes by, he came by last year actually; I invited him, and he came by last year (at the concert). So, let’s see if he’s around and if he comes by.”

Tito Torbellino Jr. follows in his late father’s artistic footsteps.

His father, Tomás Tovar Rascón – better known as Tito Torbellino, was a prominent representative of the regional Mexican musical genre and was also originally from Phoenix. The artist was killed in Sonora, Mexico in May 2014.
