“We don’t know what day it is, much less who’s releasing albums. “It’s complicated to release an album now because the public, and everyone, is a bit disoriented,” says singer Edén Muñoz. The title is indeed a reference to the band’s response to a tumultuous year. Ramos says the band has since adhered closely to health guidelines and tried to stay home with family as much as possible “to remedy all the sadness that has happened, in a way, and project it into the music.” “ Vamos Bien,” the band’s 14th album, was released Friday. “But vamos bien (we’re doing well), like the record says.” Each member of the group also lost family members.

“2020 has been a very, very complicated year in terms of health,” says tuba player Alejandro Gaxiola. Much of the group’s entourage was also infected. He was hospitalized for two weeks and near the point of intubation. Most of them had mild symptoms - headaches, fever - but guitarist Armando Ramos took a more serious hit. All four members of the regional Mexican band contracted it at the same time, in the early months of the ongoing pandemic. The guys of Calibre 50 know firsthand the impact of COVID-19.
