Raul Malo, the son of Cuban immigrants, and his musical comrades believe in bringing people together – often in the name of good times and great music – which is the most universal language of all. From their earliest shows as a garage band playing the punk clubs on Miami Beach, The Mavericks have had a skill for getting people to groove. Drawing on a mix of classic country, cow-punk and standards, Malo and company left South Florida, bringing their rhythmic fervor and Latin machismo, along with Malo’s lush baritone, to the world. After numerous years as a band, multiple gold and platinum albums, world tours, breakups and reformations, The Mavericks recorded their critically-acclaimed album In Time and re-introduced music lovers to the band’s genre-defying melting pot of pop music. Now with the new release of Mono, The Mavericks find themselves making the most relevant music of their career. “We all believed that it was going to be special and I think we would all agree that, our record Mono best represents what our band does live,” expresses guitarist Eddie Perez.
