Rodney Rodriguez is a veteran musician with over 25 years of experience, including over 15 years with the legendary Los Fantasmas Del Valle before forming Los Cucuys in 2016. This experience, along with his voracious appetite for the classic Conjunto of standard bearers like Gilberto Perez, Ruben Vela, Tony De La Rosa, and Ruben Naranjo, makes Rodriguez a bit of a throwback, informing everything from their song selection to their live shows. On stage, for example, he and his band often forego the casual or western attire often seen with younger groups, opting for classic suits, vests and button-up shirts, and shiny Stacey Adams, and favoring finesse over flash.
Backing Rodney are his top-notch Cucuys, from Siji’s steady bajo sexto and perfectly complimentary second voice to the unstoppable rhythm section of Beto on bass and Marty on drums. They’re serious and at the top of their game. Los Cucuys are not here to be rock stars. They’re here to move you and play some of the best Conjunto in the genre today.
