The Mejía Avante brothers, members of Los Ángeles Azules, are currently facing a difficult family situation that has led to speculation about the possible cancellation of their performance at Vive Latino 2025 on March 15th. Despite these rumors, José Mejía, the band's timbale player, confirmed to the media that their participation in the music festival is still on, highlighting the importance of responsibility towards their audience thanks to their parents' teachings.
The Mejía Avante brothers' parents always instilled the value of being responsible with their audience, reminding them that their audience was not to blame for family problems. This teaching reflects Los Ángeles Azules' commitment to their followers, who have been faithful to the band through generations, solidifying a strong fan base. The recent loss of Don Porfirio Mejía García, the father of the founding brothers of the group, has deeply impacted the family and the band.
The members of Los Ángeles Azules bid farewell to their father at a funeral home in Iztapalapa, an emblematic place that has been key in the band's trajectory. After learning of his passing in Nicaragua, the band returned to Mexico to say goodbye to Don Porfirio. The father of the Mejía Avante brothers, who apparently was over a hundred years old, faced bilateral pneumonia that complicated his condition until his passing at home.
Jorge Mejía, accordionist and keyboardist of Los Ángeles Azules, shared details with the media about his father's health, mentioning that doctors confirmed natural causes as the reason for his death, primarily influenced by his advanced age, estimated to be around 106 years. Despite this loss, the family and the band remain strong in moving forward, honoring their parents' words and legacy by continuing their commitment to bring joy and music to their audience.
