Rick Balderrama talks new single ‘Mil Recuerdos’ ft. Chente Barrera, upcoming album [AUDIO]

Rick Balderrama released his latest single “Mil Recuerdos” featuring Chente Barrera on Monday.

It’s the lead single from his upcoming album La Patria, an album dedicated to his late father, Tejano legend Henry Balderrama.

“I’ve been working on this project, which is a tribute to my dad, I’ve been working on it for a little over two years with Art Guillermo,” Rick told Tejano Nation radio affiliate Tejano 1600 morning host Melissa Santa Cruz. “This album I took songs that I would say are my favorite along with my dad’s favorites, half of them he wrote.”

The album, scheduled to be released on March 14, also features collaborations with David Ledesma of LaDezz and Missy Garcia, and of course the lead single with Barrera.

“Never collaborated together, his dad was a musician who passed away as well, so we have a lot in common there,” Rick said about working with Barrera. “I’ve always looked up to him, he’s a great overall performer, vocalist, and drummer. He’s like a brother to me.”

“Mil Recuerdos” will be available at all major digital platforms soon.
