The Norteño and Tejano music community was left in shock when news broke about the harrowing accident involving members of the beloved band Duelo. Drummer Ivan Torres and bassist Pedro Flores bore the brunt of the collision, suffering severe injuries during their journey from Monterrey to San Antonio for the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.
According to video shared on social media with the group’s lead vocalist Óscar Iván Treviño, Flores sustained damage to four vertebrae in his lower spine and underwent surgery on Sunday. His current condition is described as “a little more stable.” Meanwhile, Torres suffered injuries to his left side and shoulder and is now recovering at home.
In a statement that resonated with fans, Treviño expressed gratitude for what he deemed a miraculous turn of events: “God definitely performed a miracle this weekend due to the severity of the accident, and the boys are now a little more stable, which is the most important thing.”
Duelo has a loyal following across Texas and beyond. The group’s origins trace back to Roma, a small town near the Rio Grande. Their electrifying performances at venues across the U.S. and Mexico have left an indelible mark on the Tejano music scene.
The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo announced that La Mafia, the legendary Tejano group from Houston, Texas, would replace Grupo Duelo as the headliner for the Noche Del Vaquero show on Sunday night. The next tour dates for Duelo are scheduled for March 1 in Waco and March 2 in Austin at the Besame Mucho Festival.
As the music world awaits further updates on Duelo’s condition, we join in sending our thoughts and well wishes to Ivan Torres, Pedro Flores, and the entire band. May their recovery be swift, and may their music continue to resonate with fans for years to come.
