Grupo Quinientos 7 is a dynamic Mexican-American band based in Minnesota, drawing inspiration from both the traditions of Mexico and the experiences of growing up as first-generation Americans. The band’s name, “Quinientos 7,” is a nod to their roots: the “507” is the area code of southern Minnesota, where the band members live and create music.
Comprised of first-generation Mexican-Americans, Grupo Quinientos 7’s music is a vibrant reflection of their shared journey — rooted in the traditions of Mexican music, yet shaped by the diverse American experiences they’ve encountered. Their repertoire spans from the heartfelt rhythms of ranchera and norteño to the modern influence of pop, rock, and cumbia, creating a fusion that speaks to the Mexican-American experience in Minnesota and beyond.
The band’s lyrics often explore themes of family, identity, and the delicate balance between their Mexican heritage and their lives as American-born individuals. With every performance, Grupo Quinientos 7 celebrates their Mexican roots, while embracing the American dream and the stories of resilience, unity, and hope that define the Latino community in the Midwest.
Grupo Quinientos 7 is more than just a band — they are a testament to the power of music in bridging cultures, telling stories, and giving a voice to the generations that live between two worlds. Through their heartfelt performances, they bring together the soul of Mexican tradition and the spirit of Minnesota, offering a sound that resonates with audiences from all walks of life.
