Conjunto Atardecer is a regional Mexican band that specializes in the duranguense genre.
History
Conjunto Atardecer formed in Santa Maria del Oro, Durango, in September 2000. The idea of forming the group stemmed from the concerns of three young students who were beginning to switch on some of the school festivals, which were much in demand, as well as private events.
Seeing that many people liked the band, they were asked increasingly to perform at private events. They then decided to invite two more members, thus reinforcing musically. They began to rehearse, but not yet by the name that would identify them in their presentations. It was then that they had the idea of calling themselves "Conjunto Atardecer"; honoring that afternoon when the five came together for the first time.
From its inception, the group began to grow in popularity, which led them to record their first album entitled "Con Todo el Corazón" ("From the Heart"). It held in Durango, and with very good public acceptance and placing radio hits, they became a favorite of the region.
Some time later, the group launched what was their second production, "Atardecer Canta Corridos" ("Atardecer Sing Corridos"). With that they soon gained popularity in places like Chihuahua, San Luis Potosí and Zacatecas, as well as several cities in Texas, allowing them to make their first appearances on American soil.
The overall success came immediately to Conjunto Atardecer, managing to get the attention of promoters and record companies; eventually getting signed to Universal. They then launched the following material entitled "Mi Eterno Amor Secreto"("My Secret Eternal Love"). That album came to change the direction of the group, as they were now shaping up to be one of the most influential groups from Durango.
Their presence in radio was not limited. Tracks like "Debajo de los Laureles", “Yo Te Enseñé” and “Quiero Pensar en Ti" ("Under the Laurels", "I Taught You" and "I Think of You") were big radio hits on the regional Mexican stations, allowing the band to tour throughout the United States.
From that moment, Conjunto Atardecer began harvesting a number of successes in 2008. By that year, they had recorded 10 albums, in addition to countless nominations and awards that covered Lo Nuestro Awards, a Grammy, Furia Musical, and others.
In mid-2008, the group released their 11th album entitled "Se Va Muriendo Mi Alma"("My Soul is Dying").
In 2012, Conjunto Atardecer released their album "De Mil Maneras...Sin Limites" (A Thousand Ways...No Limits) and their single "Te Veré Como Me Ves" ("I'll See You as How You See Me"). [1]
In January 2017, Conjunto Atardecer's lead vocalist, Heraclio Cepeda announced on the group's Facebook page vía live video that the group was breaking up at the end of February of that year. He was to start a Norteño-Sax band called “H Norteña” and said that Conjunto Atardecer was splitting on good terms.
In January 2020, Conjunto Atardecer reunited and are recording and touring once again.
