Now, The Mavericks have ushered in the fourth phase of their evolution with the #1 Billboard debut of their first-ever, all Spanish album, En Español, released on the band’s own Mono Mundo label. And finally, a triumphant reunion in 2012 which held long enough for them to recently celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary. A long hiatus starting 2003 when the musicians each went their own way. An initial period of heady success marked by big hits and critical acclaim in the ‘90s. The Mavericks, the eclectic rock and country group known for crisscrossing musical boundaries with abandon, has gone through three distinct phases since it was founded in Miami in 1989.
