Fuerza Regida performed “TU SANCHO” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, carrying the pulse of San Bernardino into one of the U.S.’ most familiar stages. The group, led by Jesús Ortíz Paz, transformed the studio into something that felt closer to a backyard concert than late-night television. Their sound, born from California streets and rooted in regional Mexican tradition, now echoes through TikTok trends, festival crowds, and streaming charts that once had no space for corridos.

A Band That Built Its Audience Online

Fuerza Regida began in 2015 with homemade videos uploaded to YouTube. Those clips of covers played with laughter in the background, with instruments that sometimes overpowered the vocals, but they carried honesty. That honesty became their language. The views multiplied, record labels noticed, and Lumbre Music offered them a deal that opened the road to something larger.

Their lineup — Ortíz Paz on vocals, Samuel Jaimez on requinto, Khrystian Ramos on guitar, José García on tuba, and Moisés López on tololoche — turned local energy into national recognition. Their songs moved quickly through social media, landing on TikTok where users choreographed dances, shared edits, and turned lyrics into inside jokes. Tracks like “Marlboro Rojo,” “Sabor Fresa,” and “Harley Quinn,” their collaboration with Marshmello, became soundtracks for a generation that listens through headphones while scrolling.

Cultural Momentum on a Mainstream Stage

The Tonight Show performance arrived at a moment when regional Mexican music dominates playlists, weddings, and phone screens across languages. Fuerza Regida’s presence on Fallon symbolized how far the genre has traveled, carried by fans who once had to search online for their favorite songs and now see them broadcast on national television.

The performance of “TU SANCHO” felt both familiar and new, its rhythm layered with guitars and brass that spoke to family parties, road trips, and long nights that turn into stories. In that sound lives a sense of migration and belonging, shaped by bilingual fans who grew up between both cultures yet never felt divided by them.

Fuerza Regida Is Rooted in Community and Pride

Even with fame, the band’s connection to their community remains visible. They have supported families affected by California wildfires, rented hotel rooms for evacuees, and used their platform to raise money for relief efforts. The gesture feels consistent with their identity, an act of loyalty to the neighborhoods that shaped their sound.

Their appearance on Fallon felt like an arrival built on years of work, friendship, and the quiet belief that the world was ready for the music they had been playing all along. Fuerza Regida walked offstage that night carrying the same energy they started with: a refusal to quiet their sound and a promise that the beat will keep traveling wherever a speaker can carry it.
