Vázquez Sounds is a musical trio formed by siblings Abe, Gustavo and Angela "Angie" Vázquez originating from the city of Mexicali, Baja California, in Mexico. They are known for their cover of the Adele song "Rolling in the Deep", which received over 190 million hits, becoming an instant internet sensation, and even earning them air time on Spanish-language television, CNN en Español, VH1 and Good Morning America.

Career

Abe, Gus and Angie Vázquez are children of music producer Abelardo Vázquez,[1] who has worked with groups like Mexican bands Reik, Nikki Clan and Camila.[1][2] Vázquez Sounds uses their father's recording studio to record and edit their music.[3]

Vázquez Sounds released their cover of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" on November 10, 2011 on YouTube.[4][5] The single peaked at number one on the Mexican Top 100 Chart, and was certified platinum by the AMPROFON. They released their second single, a rendition of "All I Want for Christmas Is You", which peaked number two on the top 10, following their version of "Rolling in the Deep" at number one.[6][7]

On September 2014, Vazquez Sounds released their first album containing original songs, which was an instant hit and earned them a nomination at the 2015 Latin GRAMMYs as "Best New Artist". Currently Vazquez Sounds remain as independent artists.
