Grupo firme gay

Eduin’s brother and bandmate, Jhonny Caz, is openly gay. I hope tomorrow there will be more artists coming who can represent this community filled with love. Among the construction workers is Jose, a Coachella Valley native with roots in Jalisco, who’s worked at the festival for several years. During one concert in 2021, Jhonny’s partner Jonathan Bencomo proposed to him onstage.

“It’s an honor and, at the same time, it’s a big responsibility because I want Grupo Firme to open more doors for LGBTQ+ people in música mexicana,” Jhonny says about queer representation.

But I want to work together, to build something together. That’s why this time we decided to perform in arenas, which are smaller, so we can be closer to our fans.”

In addition to hard partying, Grupo Firme concerts are known for being inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community. That’s why our tour is called ‘La Última Peda,’ because it’s never the last one.”

The party appeared to be over for Eduin while Grupo Firme was taking time off.

Es algo diferente,” he says. In June, the música-Mexicana heavyweight Julión Álvarez returned to Spotify after an investigation into his alleged ties to Mexican druglords barred him from music for five years. After he made it back on the platform, he was ranked the third-most-streamed artist in Mexico that week, surpassing Grupo Firme and Christian Nodál.

We’re not that different. He hints that Grupo Firme is working on new sounds, and experimenting with genres outside of what the band is used to: reggaeton, huapango, even trap. Jhonny and Eduin pretend to flip their hair in a nod to one of Trevi’s classic songs.

“I’m so excited that we collaborated with one of the biggest LGBTQ+ icons,” Jhonny says.

We’re people, independently of who we love or how we live. People immediately began discussing Jhonny’s sexual orientation, but worst of all, the photo outed Bencomo. During shows, Jhonny joins his younger brother for tequila shots, sings a banda version of Karol G’s “Tusa,” and unabashedly wears skirts and bright hair colors (when we met, it was bright pink).

I want to show you a world you haven’t seen yet, where if things go well, you’ll see things you’ve never seen before.” 

What stood out to Caz was that Gutiérrez was open to being business partners, socios, instead of having a standard manager-artist relationship. To break barriers,” Caz tells Rolling Stone just hours before performing.

Eventually, they became Grupo Firme.
