Overview

• Nineteen ninety-nine–formed Nortec: Bostich + Fussible has been marking its 25th anniversary with a tour that began at Tijuana’s Las Pulgas and included Vive Latino, Pa’l Norte and symphonic shows.
• Their flagship concert on August 30 at Mexico City’s Pepsi Center will span emblematic songs shelved for decades alongside unreleased compositions and bespoke arrangements.
• The duo recovered archival material—including “Casino Soul” from floppy disks—and plans to issue a commemorative vinyl of their latest album, De sur a norte, at the concert.
• They employ AI tools such as LANDR for mastering and equalization but insist that all composition remains strictly human to preserve organic imperfections.
• Bostich and Fussible point to the new Grammy category for regional mexicano and reject censorship of corrido subgenres as necessary for music to reflect societal realities.
