For the first time ever, the soulful swing of Norteño saxophone collides with the fiery pulse of Tex-Mex accordion in a groundbreaking fusion that has never been done before. Sunny Sauceda and Keith Nieto unite two distinct musical worlds in a collaboration that redefines genre boundaries and celebrates the rich heritage of both styles.

Produced by Sauceda himself under the Azteca Ranch Music label, this bold new take on “Vueltas y Vueltas” blends nostalgia with modern edge, elevating the track to new heights.

The single is set to hit all digital streaming platforms on April 11. More than just a collaboration, this release marks the evolution of a long-awaited musical moment—where two iconic but historically distinct genres finally meet. Much like a West Coast vs. East Coast rivalry, Tex-Mex and Norteño sounds have long stood in parallel lanes. Now, in an epic union nearly three decades in the making, Sauceda and Azteca Ranch Music A&R Carlos H. Alvarez have bridged that cultural and sonic divide. Their vision—first imagined over 25 years ago—is finally realized in a track that honors both traditions while forging a bold new path forward.

“Vueltas y Vueltas (2025)” fuses the emotional pull of the original with modern textures and the unmistakable voice of Keith Nieto’s saxophone. The result is a powerful sonic statement that bridges past and present, paying homage to the original while pushing the sound of Tex-Mex music boldly forward.

“Vueltas y Vueltas (2025)” will be available on all major streaming platforms April 11. Presave the track here.
