In January, Rodriguez and band return with the next edition of Laboratorio. This special installment pays tribute to Tejano legend Ruben “El Gato Negro” Ramos, marking the official release of his latest album—co-produced by Rodriguez and acclaimed producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Sergio Mendoza. Ramos will take the stage to perform songs from the new release alongside fan favorites, joined by Rodriguez and the Laboratorio band. The evening will also feature tributes and surprise guest performances in honor of Ruben’s remarkable legacy.

Together, they will perform original material and classic covers featuring harmonies reminiscent of Trio Los Panchos and The Andrews Sisters. Adding to the vintage charm, KUTX hosts Laurie Gallardo and Alex Marrero step in as radio hosts for the evening, complete with a dramatic "radionovela" reading and retro-style commercials that bring the golden age of radio to life.
