About the Show
Gerardo Ortiz is young, charismatic and the latest sensation in Regional Mexican music. Know for his progressive style of corridos, Gerardo doesn't shy away from the often-aggressive lyrics of this style of music, and his fans love him the more for it. Born in Pasadena, California, he moved to Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico at the age of 5 years old, and recorded his first album at the tender age of 8. Several more albums followed, and he even joined a young corrido band called Antrax. At age 20, he returned to the U.S., and launched his solo career. With hit singles like "En Preparación," "El Trokero Lokochón," "A La Moda," and "La Última Sombra," he is now releasing his much awaited new production titled "Entre Dios y el Diablo," which includes the first single "Aquiles Afirmo." ¡Corrido fans, this one is for you! Don't miss Gerardo Ortiz performing live at El Rey Theater in Los Angeles! Plus check out our exclusive one-on-one with this talented young artist. "Entre Dios y el Diablo" is now available on www.Walmart.com or any of our stores nationwide!

What inspires him
"My inspiration was my father. He was always playing the guitar, always singing…"
Why this style of music
"I chose this style of music because it's part of the culture of the state of Sinaloa… I've been hearing corridos since I was about 6 years old, so they're in my heart…"
On touring
"We're going to do a tour around the U.S. and maybe Mexico. It's going to be fun, because we have corridos and romantic songs, so people are going to get to hear both…"
On his success
"The 'Ni Hoy Ni Mañana' album won Gold record, and it was nominated for a Grammy as Best Norteño Album... 'Morir y Existir' got a Gold record too, and now I have the new CD 'Entre Dios y el Diablo.'"
On social media
"Twitter is the best tool to communicate… All the fans and the artists are using it."

The Set List
"Cara a la Muerte"
A corrido about the violence happening in some parts of Mexico, this chilling song says, "Murder, they had me surrounded, my family on my mind, in just a few minutes I saw my life pass me by…"
"Me Emocionas"
From the album "Ni Hoy Ni Mañana," "Me Emocionas" is a romantic norteño song that says, "I'm excited that you're mine… I'm excited to know the reasons why I can't live without your kisses…"
"Sangre Azul"
From the new album "Entre Dios y el Diablo," this corrido talks about living a double life in a world of violence. "On one side, mafia, power and greed, and on the other, my family."
"Leyenda Caro Quintero"
As the title faithfully points out, this song is about the drug lord known as Caro Quintero. "War and envy weren't so rampant, strength in business, respect for your partners, loyalty to the company, and to kill you have to use your head…"
"Amor Confuso"
A slow-tempo norteño ballad, the song is about a love gone wrong, a love not easily forgotten. "I know you don't want it to end, that I didn't appreciate it, that only a few drinks can help you forget…"
"La Última Sombra"
One more hit from the album "Ni Hoy Ni Mañana," "La Última Sombra" is yet another of the narco-corridos that Gerardo is so well known for, and is one of his many chart-topping songs.
