A lot has happened since Micky Huidobro, Tito Fuentes, Randy Ebright and Paco Ayala, they threw Where will the girls play?an album that marked a history in Latin American rock, as well as its presentation at the Foro Sol, on May 12.
They are almost 30 years of musical career of Molotovwhere they maintain that rebellious, reflective and free personality.
”We felt at the end of the day and at night in the Foro Sol, exactly what many of the bands that accompanied us to celebrate that rock and live music still exist, still have validity and have a good time of life despite the detractors . You have to understand and accept that there are trends that are gaining strength and projects that are so cool, whether you like it or not or the genre in which they are made, but the rock that it is our thing, it continues to fight and continues to do it as a fart ”, said Paco Ayala.
The musician shared the reason why Molotov has not jumped on the bandwagon collaborations.
“They have always tried to convince us of the collaboration wave, I feel that at some point, when we could and should have done it, it did not happen. They have to be natural, because I think they can’t be so cleverly put together. At least we do not feel that it would be good for us to do so. Today it is so fashionable that we don’t know whether to enter it now or continue with the one we should go for, because it is also cool to do things with different genres. We have never pigeonholed ourselves into making rock, because we play a song and suddenly cumbia-punk comes out, then polka-norteña and other things, but it can be a good experiment, ”he added.

Paco Ayala joked when talking about the new album Only D’Lira, Produced by Ross Robinson, Jason Livermore and Emmanuel Del Real.
“We went through a renewed stage, in which we made a record that came out a little while ago. We did a world premiere, but the world kind of didn’t find out about the premiere, that was the difference (laughs)”, and Ayala continued, “Just D’Lira it has 13 songs, we did it with Warner Music which is the new label we signed with a couple of years ago. The album talks about all kinds of themes from wild social, formal and informal; conscious and unconscious, that always motivates the musician and gives you energy to go out and roll with new songs, because people pay a ticket to listen to other songs, but we also suddenly say: ‘Don’t stain, let us show you other songs. songs’, even if they don’t mind (laughs)”.
Estalla Molotov is the tour that goes to their last concerts, which will have a new version that will include the new songs.
“We are halfway starting (new tour) with the release of this Estalla Molotov, Guadalajara and Monterrey remain from this end of the tour, we have already started the show with a new version so that it will be the same for us”.
Strength and weakness
Paca Ayala decided to talk about what makes the band strong, which at the same time makes them controversial and has a sector of the population against it.
“Our strength is doing things honestly, whoever likes it and without fear. And the weakness, well it’s also that, that by feeling free to do what you want you can hurt feelings and rights that someone feels violated by what we say, but music is for entertainment and having a good time. There are people who have empathy with what we say and there are people who don’t,” Ayala concluded.
Molotov in Guadalajara
The next stop is Guadalajara, “we are making a closing that Guadalajara deserves, a dignified and cool and very explosive closing. Suddenly these limitations that we don’t understand why, we go to spaces where people who want to jump and throw a rampage are going to be more limited (Telmex Auditorium) but it also gives you the chance to see the concert from a less outrageous perspective and concentrated in front, on what is happening,” he said.
