Los Palominos

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, "rancheras", "bolero"s, 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 well into the 2000s.
