R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Dallas-based regional Mexican band La Energía
Norteña is celebrating the seventh anniversary of its founding in
2019; and
WHEREAS, Established in 2012 by Adrian Zamarripa and Moises
Cuevas, La Energía Norteña reflects their love of Norteño saxophone
music; that same year, the six-member group won a talent contest and
later garnered a recording contract with Azteca Music Group and
released its first album, Pensando en Ti; and
WHEREAS, The band began touring the U.S. and Mexico, reaching
a young audience and reenergizing the Norteño genre with a fusion of
traditional sounds and contemporary rhythms; in 2015, its album
Cruzando Territorio earned a Latin Grammy nomination and yielded a
Top 20 hit, "El Amor de Mi Vida," which has become its signature
song; it received a second Latin Grammy nomination in 2018 for "El
Sueño Americano," in the Best Regional Song category; its most
recent album, El Crossover, includes new interpretations of a wide
variety of English-language pop and country hits; and
WHEREAS, While advancing its career, the group has also
sought to benefit those in need; it donated proceeds from a November
2018 concert in San Antonio to St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital, and it has since focused on even more substantial
fund-raising for the organization; and
WHEREAS, La Energía Norteña has brought joy to countless
fans, and as it works to build an even larger audience, it is indeed
a pleasure to recognize its accomplishments to date; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate La Energía Norteña on its seventh
anniversary and extend to the members sincere best wishes for
continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
