Los Rancheritos Del Topo Chico

Originally in the 50's as a trio Catarino Leos (accordionist and first voice), Ramiro Pérez (bajo sexto and second voice) and Aurelio Pérez (tololoche and electric bass) began to play in the cantinas of downtown Monterrey. On one of those nights they coincide with the musician Tomás Ortiz, a member of Los Alegres de Terán, who listens to them and proposes to record a single album; later he produces two more. This is how Los Rancheritos del Topo Chico emerged, a name also suggested by Ortiz, a group initially made up of Catarino and his first cousins ​​Aurelio -who played the tololoche in Los Gorriones del Topo Chico- and Ramiro who, with more than half a century of uninterrupted trajectory He has made more than one hundred recordings and has seen musicians such as Alfredo Luna, Cruz Martínez, the brothers Enrique and Gregorio González, Esteban Tirado, Francisco Villareal, Héctor Omar Garza, Jesús Pérez, José Garza, Juan Felicitos Rodríguez, Ramiro González and Rusbel parade. Delgado, among many others.
