Pepe Aguilar stays true to his ranchera roots, but he’s still evolving. On Thursday night, the música mexicana legend released his new album Que Llueva Tequila, which he describes as a “little oasis” away from the Mexican music being made today.
“The songs reflect a clear evolution lyrically and musically in mariachi, at least in my mariachi, my world. They’re not your typical rancheras. They’re not your grandma’s rancheras, but also not your kids’ rancheras,” he tells Rolling Stone with a laugh. “It’s somewhere in between.

Pepe Aguilar knows a thing or two about continuing a legacy. The son of the greatest ranchera singer of all time, Antonio Aguilar, and a star of the golden age of Mexican cinema, Flor Silvestre, Pepe built a career by successfully carrying the heavy, storied history of the Aguilar last name and turning it into a now-growing dynasty.
With songs like “Por Mujeres Como Tú” and “Directo Al Corazón,” Pepe married the traditionalism of rancheras with the pop modernity of the mid-2000s to build a career in his own right.
