AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Control


Artist:Control

Song:Cumbia Con La Luna

Album:Historia


Control, or as they are sometimes called Grupo Control, is a norteno band. I guess norteno is Texican music. Most of the audience is Mexicans who live in Texas. There is an audience for it in Mexico but it's more popular in Texas. Control is known as The Kings of Cumbia. They are from Houston led by lead singer Sergio Alberto Degollado and his brother Jose Guadalupe Degollado. Their sister Jennifer Degollado plays accordion. The band name is because they are from the Mexican town Control. They signed with EMI Latin and released the album Cumbias Sin Control in 1999. Cumbia Con La Luna was their first big hit. After six albums on EMI did well in the Mexican regional charts, they switched to Univision in 2006. Things didn't go too well there and they ended up recording for their own label. They are still around. Those interested in checking them out can get this budget comp of their EMI recordings. Here's the video for Cumbia Con La Luna by Control.
