It’s a love song, but the context is different from everything we’ve done before. “The title is a reference to the old school. The pause that the pandemic forced upon us has been a good thing to a point, because we were just going through life way too fast.” Read on as Muñoz details the stories behind Vamos Bien, one song at a time. “This time we had time on our side and we could work on things that we hadn’t even thought about when we were living on the road. “The pandemic completely changed our creative process,” says the singer-songwriter and accordionist. Amid the corridos, a format they have mastered over the past decade, there is also space for cumbias, ballads, and a bolero, as well as one cover song that will surprise many a fan. Yet the quartet’s new songs explore more terrain than ever before. Vamos Bien returns to the contagious norteño-banda-sinaloense hybrid that has been one of the group’s signatures since 2018’s Mitad y Mitad. “We always try to innovate, to tell different stories in our lyrics and find new ways to talk about love,” Calibre 50’s Edén Muñoz tells Apple Music.
