Raul Malo of The Mavericks has passed ....


Sad to hear the news that Raul Malo of The Mavericks has passed. I have been following him and that Band for over 31 years and what a God given voice that man had. I have traveled all around to to see them play, and saw them last year at this time in Nashville at the Ryman Theatre. What a beautiful memory I will cherish of that evening and that man's voice for a long time......The Mavericks concerts were an absolute blast to attend and always left me smiling, dancing and singing. This is a huge loss for all that are familiar with his music and voice. If you get a moment check them out and hopefully you will understand that we lost a great person and musician. Rest in peace Raul.....and thank you for the last 31 years of musical fun and dancing !!!!

   Thank you for the post. First Flaco and now Raul, so sad. I was listening to the Mavericks last night. I had only discovered them about 4-5 years ago. The closest they came to where I live was about 120 miles and I truly regret not going. Life is fragile and time passes quick. One of the things I appreciated about him was his ability to be exceptional in different genres of music. Regards , Mike B. 

Very sad. I wasn’t a super fan, but what a voice. I’ve always loved his cover of the Flying Burrito Brothers’s “Hot Burrito #1.”
