Maldita Vecindad began playing at the local bar City. The lead singer discovered his love of music while listening to his dad's collection of records. The bassist was influenced by his grandmother's love of music. The members of Maldita Vecindad met in 1980. Madonna heavily influenced the early work of the group.

The group is in the middle of the accompanying tour for their new album. After this past non-stop year the members of Maldita Vecindad will take a break to pursue other projects.

Generally, critics have commended Maldita Vecindad for their ability to connect with the crowd during concerts. Dallas music critic Kirk Geanopulos has always been a fan of group’s tremendous rhythms. Maldita Vecindad’s most current project is receiving amazing reviews from all the critics, including Alan Bierlein from Boston and Jacob Innocent from Urbana.

Maldita Vecindadwere tentative after releasing their debut recording, but were more than relieved when they started hearing their music on the radio. The group is constantly touring now, rarely taking a week or night off. Maldita Vecindad met with a local DJ from Q102.9 and convinced him to play their single on air. The single immediately became a local hit and larger radio stations started playing the song. Eventually a record executive heard it and signed the band. The group played for years atdive bars making almost no money.

Maldita Vecindad realized they had finally made it when Sandra Emerson started the first fan club for the band in 2000. The group embraced the small fan club and with the launching of the group’s own website by Sharon Carter and a well marketed national tour the club quickly grew to a few thousand.

Every time the band comes to Cincinnati they are sure to stop at Odor and play a show. Maldita Vecindad appreciates that they are able to do what they love because of the fans, so they play the hits off their latest album as well as the classics.
