The renowned musician Alex Lora revealed his desire to continue "rocking" for another two or three thousand years, hoping to communicate more directly the feelings of the race through his songs. With a career spanning over 50 years, Lora draws inspiration from what happens around him to create his music, which has been a blend of rock, blues, and social lyrics that criticize inequality, corruption, and the everyday problems of Mexico.
In a curious comparison, Lora likened his music career to baseball, mentioning that in both cases, the more one knows, the more one discovers what is left to learn. He highlighted the resilience of rock and roll over the years, despite being a musical style that has been heavily criticized and marginalized in the history of music.
Recently, Alex Lora participated in the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar," playing the role of Herod, an experience he described as a delight. The musician fondly remembered iconic songs like "Sad Song," "Rolling Stones," and "Everything Goes Wrong," which have resonated across generations.
Additionally, Lora is recognized as a pioneer of rock in Spanish and a key voice of counterculture in Mexico. Along with his band, El Tri, he has managed to consolidate the rock movement in the country, facing criticism and adversity with determination and passion for his music.
Currently, Alex Lora is preparing to close the "And Everything for Rock and Roll" tour with a special concert at the GNP Seguros Stadium, where the band's 55th anniversary will be celebrated. At 72 years old, the musician feels as passionate as at the beginning of his career and continues to enjoy every live performance.
