Alejandro Escovedo will release his album La Cruzada worldwide on August 27, 2021 on CD, LP and digital. Pre-order here and stream the first single, “Algo Azul”.

La Cruzada is Alejandro’s critically acclaimed album, The Crossing, with the vocals recorded in Spanish. With the lyrics translated into and sung in Spanish, the concept album, which tells the story of two young immigrants to the US, who bond over a mutual love of punk rock as they struggle with the racism and discrimination as immigrants, becomes an even more intimate experience. It features guest vocalists, as well as Alejandro singing all of the songs from The Crossing in Spanish. Vocalists on the album include Alex Ruiz (Chingon), Patricia Vonne, Vanessa Del Fierro and Alejandro Escovedo.

Originally released on vinyl only for Record Store Day Black Friday in 2020, the album sold out almost immediately and charted on numerous Billboard Latin charts, in addition to (re)entering the Americana/Folk chart at #10 the week of release. For the first time, La Cruzada is getting a wide release on CD and LP, which is pressed on bone white vinyl.

Alejandro Escovedo released his album, The Crossing, in 2018 to rave reviews from both press and fans.  The epic 17 song suite comprising The Crossing is about that journey: searching, but not necessarily finding, eyes and ears open all the way. Ranging from sweeping orchestral numbers to classic rock to bursts of 70s punk, the collection finds Escovedo delving further into his lifelong musical journey across his most sonically diverse work yet. яндекс  

“This says more about me than any of my records without it being a record about me,” Alejandro says.
