The SUERTE idea got its start in late 2009. I was slowly putting together an idea, looking to create an ensemble of veteran musicians. The idea was to create (and) bring back, the Big Band Orquesta' traditionally seen/heard in the early 1970's Tejano Groups. Soon different musicians from different backgrounds were brought in, some auditioning and some friends just willing to help out fellow friends as musicians often do. I met our drummer Mike Alegria from a mutual friend. Mike and I shared the same vision. Mike suggested we put our plans together, he operating leading the Band and I bringing the SUERTE name with the management and marketing background.

In early 2010, SUERTE prepared for their first debut. After that initiation and awakening, auditions continued and others were invited to participate. The summer of 2010 began with a revamped SUERTE and the road to the Big Band Tejano Sound began. With Full Brass in hand, SUERTE, Tucson's Newest Variety Entertainment continues to work hard bringing to the public the Old School Tejano Classics and a wide range of Variety Music for our listeners and especially our dancers.
