Los Rieleros del Norte, from Chihuahua, Mexico, are a norteño music pioneer. Known for "El Columpio" and "Te Quiero Mucho," their romantic, danceable style blends saxophone and accordion. Founded in 1979 and later relocated to Texas, they've earned Grammy nods and a Las Vegas Walk of Fame star. With over three-dozen albums, hits include "Amor Prohibido" and gold-certified "Prieta Orgullosa." Despite lineup changes, Daniel Esquivel leads, continuing their success in top Latin charts. Their music resonates in US cities with large Latino populations.

Banda Corona De Rey, formed in 2008 in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, emerged from a spontaneous "Wipa/Matona" session. Known for lively performances, they began with private events and clubs, leading to their first recordings.
