Maldita Vecindad at Paramount Theatre Seattle

La Maldita Vecindad y los Hijos del Quinto Patio or better known Maldita Vecindad or La Maldita for short, is one of Mexico’s most prominent rock bands. The critically-acclaimed outfit from Mexico City dominated the charts during the late ‘80s and ‘90s with iconic albums, such as their self-titled debut effort, El Circo, Baile De Mascaras, Mostros, and Circo Colectivo. Maldita Vecindad is regarded as the pioneer of Mexican rock music and has been credited for paving the way for the next generation of Latin rock musicians. The band has been cited by many Spanish artists for being a major influence on their music.

For their upcoming show at the Paramount Theatre Seattle, Maldita Vecindad will be delivering their iconic hits and fan favorites! The band has released a myriad of Latin rock staples during the ‘90s, and these include their ska-influenced tracks from their self-titled debut effort, El Circo’s “Pachuco,” “Solin,” “Un Gran Circ,” and “Kumbala.” Fans can also anticipate songs from their highly successful 1996 effort, Baile De Mascaras, which spawned hits and fan favorites, “Viva Mi Desgracia,” “El Chulo,” “El Vigilante,” and many more.

During the 2000s, Maldita Vecindad dropped a number of compilation efforts, including their 15th-anniversary album, 15 años de éxitos Maldita Vecindad, in 2004. Over ten years later, the band released their latest compilation effort, A 30 Anos, to celebrate their 30th anniversary in 2015. The album featured the hit single “Lo Pasado, Pasado.” The song quickly went viral among Spanish music listeners and clocked in over 20 million streams on various music platforms. Meanwhile, the band brings in approximately 2.5 million listeners per month on Spotify. On Youtube, Maldita Vecindad has collected over 185 million views.
