Los Palominos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Los Palominos are a tejano group from Uvalde, Texas.

Los Palominos were formed in 1986 by four brothers under the name Los Tremendos Pequeños. Their repertory includes polka, rancheros, boleros, ballads, and cumbias. They signed with Sony Discos in 1994 after meeting with Armando Lichtenberger and Oscar de la Rosa of La Mafia. Their 1994 release Corazon de Cristal was a hit in the U.S. and Mexico, and have released a steady stream of hit records into the late 2000s.
