00:00Hey guys, it's Grupo Frontera.
00:10I forgot what to say.
00:11Somos Grupo Frontera.
00:12Come with us behind the scenes for our tour stop in Brooklyn.
00:24Meeting a bunch of like Mexicans over here in New York, or Chicago, Washington, wherever
00:30it is that we're going to play.
00:31I feel like there's just that connection, o sea la raza, la raza encuentra la raza.
00:36But what's even more crazy is that everywhere we go, literally every single place that we
00:40play, people tell us, oh, I'm from the Valley too, this is from where we're from.
00:44And that's crazy because I'm like, what are you doing over here, bro?
00:47Like you're far as hell from home.
00:49Si, si.
00:50Usted donde es?
00:51Dominicano.
00:52Dominicano.
00:53Hola.
00:54Si te acabe de informar tu mamá que no puedes venir.
00:56If my mom gets mad at me, I'm going to be like, hey, it's because of my bro.
01:00Hola.
01:01No llores.
01:03Guarda las, guarda las lágrimas para el concierto.
01:19Seeing the Mexican flag in an arena like this, honestly makes me feel like I'm at home.
01:23know they're in town I have to go see them I'm Mexican so I had to come out so
01:29I think it's a very beautiful thing that Mexican music is bringing a lot of
01:33people together people that do not understand Spanish or do not you know
01:38speak the language but they're still here and they're listening to our music
01:42the Mexican music.
01:53Bolare. Bolts and hoes. Bolts and hoes.
02:01Rap it, rap it, rap it quick.
02:03Favorite song? Ae Le Be. It has an accordion solo, that's why you like it.
02:06Ya no me digas bebe. Que por tu culpa esto se fue ae le be.
02:17Hello guys, I was not in the video when I yelled my answer but my favorite song to perform is Tulum.
02:21Tulum is like in my top three Frontera songs, honestly.
02:35And plus on that song I like to like jump through the stages so I really like
02:39performing that one.
02:40Our favorite collab process was Peter Man and our favorite collab in general was Bad Bunny.
02:46My taco order is Sincronizada either from La Herradura or Taqueria Palomar
02:51Fire!
02:53Ya, ya, ya.
02:55I was a whole week's meal.
02:57I would do a Sincronizada but they do one that I forgot the name but
02:59they put hot Cheetos inside the Sincronizada.
03:01You know what, you know what?
03:03I'm gonna give three restaurants, doesn't matter the order but these three restaurants
03:07from La Herradura are my favorite. Taqueria Rios, Taqueria Palomar and La Herradura.
03:11I'll take you bro.
03:13We have a wardrobe for the tour but it's been changing.
03:17Like we don't always want to wear the same exact stuff so we made some new jackets
03:21with the Transformers because we have a collab with them.
03:23I don't really have any like fashion icons.
03:25I literally just like, I try to walk the streets especially here in New York.
03:29Today I modeled this fit after one of our cameramen actually.
03:33This is the first time I've worn something like this because of Harold and I like the way he dresses.
03:37I like it, I think it's cool.
03:39If you compare both of us, he's way better in that area than me right?
03:43So I always tell him bro, shirtless bro, shirtless shirtless.
03:45If I was fit-er, because I'm trying, if I was fit-er I would go shirtless.
03:51Okay so this is our fridge and now it's time for the auto-lathe.
04:07Normally we don't eat before the concert because like we can't move around the same way.
04:11But it's New York bro!
04:13I don't eat anything all day so.
04:15The difference is I just got my drink for the day.
04:19That's all I need to eat today.
04:21We usually have the speaker on like right now.
04:23There's a lot of things that aren't happening today.
04:25There's an interview that's happening.
04:27What's going on?
04:29There's this fan of ours, a little girl.
04:31And she's part of our fan club, Grupo Fundera Fan Club Mexico.
04:35And she's blind.
04:37But she wrote us a letter on the, como se dice?
04:39Braille.
04:41And I thought that was really special.
04:43And she keeps coming to our concerts.
04:45And we know her.
04:47We always talk to her.
04:49This last time we talked we walked past her.
04:51And each one of us was like, hola Camila.
04:53And she said, when we talked, she said each of our names.
04:55Yeah like, oh Beto.
04:57Oh Mayo.
04:59That's really cool.
05:01Yeah we're pretty much ready.
05:03We got about 20 minutes before we get on stage.
05:05We do a little prayer.
05:07We break it out. We go on stage.
05:09Two hours.
05:11I feel like I'm the most nervous one.
05:13I'm the first one to go out.
05:15When I go out, it's just me.
05:17My voice by myself.
05:19I feel like that's really nerve-wracking.
05:21Yeah, when I hear Juan or Beto mess up,
05:23I'm like, okay, it's not just me.
05:31Thank you Billboard.
05:33We're about to hop on stage.
05:35Appreciate you guys coming back with us.
05:37We're about to get on.
