Tejano icons La Sombra de Tony Guerrero have announced their long-awaited return with the release of a brand-new album, their first in more than a decade. The legendary group, known as the “Windy City Boys” from Aurora, Illinois, revealed that the project, titled Para La Familia, will be released on October 3, 2025, across all digital platforms.
Frontman Tony Guerrero shared the exciting news with fans on social media, writing, “Incredible!!! After more than 4 decades of creating Gold & Platinum hit albums… and over a decade since our last release… We are thrilled to announce that on October 3, 2025, La Sombra will release our brand-new album: PARA LA FAMILIA on all digital platforms! La Sombra has always been a family group, and now the legacy continues with my son, Marco Antonio Guerrero (Marco G), who produced, and arranged the entire album including writing 16 original songs. That’s what makes this project so meaningful to me. To all our Fans & Sombraholics!! Thank you for your patience, your love, and your support. And above all… Thank you GOD Almighty! Get ready… PARA LA FAMILIA arrives October 3rd!”
The new album is a family affair, spearheaded by Guerrero and his son Marco G, who took charge of production, arrangements, and songwriting. Longtime La Sombra members Cruz Guerrero, Bobby Rios, Cricket, and Pete also contributed, making the record both a celebration of the group’s legacy and a bold step forward.
The band recently gave fans a preview of what’s to come with the release of the lead single, “Cariño Santo.”
Founded in Aurora in the early 1980s, La Sombra has become one of the most successful and influential bands in Tejano music. With more than 20 albums, a GRAMMY nomination, and a reputation for blending Tejano with hip hop and R&B elements, the group has left a lasting legacy in the genre.
After a 12-year hiatus from releasing full-length albums, La Sombra is ready to make history once again. Para La Familia promises to capture the band’s signature sound while embracing a new generation of music through Marco G’s fresh creative vision.
