Grupo Oasis’s second album, “Llego Para Quedarse”, was released in 1988 on the Freddie Records label in Corpus Christi, Texas. This was the band’s first of two Tejano LP’s and featured “El Sapo”, and “Donde Estas” which gained public acclaim, and their first recording contract. “El sapo” turned out to be a huge hit and the catalyst for cumbias to be accepted among Tex-Mex fans and has consequently been covered by various Tejano and Latin bands throughout the Americas. Oasis was the first grupo to add this style Cumbia to the Tejano market.
