Led by accordionist Eugenio Abrego and bajo sexto player Tomás Ortiz, Los Alegres de Terán light-emitting diode the way for intricate twosome harmonies within the norteño style of Mexican music. The chemical group was formed in Nuevo León when Abrego and Ortiz met at a baseball club in the mid-'40s, simply stirred about the orbit to Monterrey, Reynosa, and in the end the border township of McAllen, TX.
Commencement with their low gear record, 1948's "Corrido de Pepito," the mathematical group pioneered rich, harmonic norteño corridos and rancheras, along with Los Cadetes de Linares and Los Tremendos Gavilanes. They recorded over a hundred LPs and had hits with many songs, including "Carta Jugada," "Alma Enamorada," and "Entre Copa y Copa." The band as well indulged in cross-marketing moves, including a spot on the bill at the first Polka Festival, held in Chicago during the mid-'60s, and an appearance in several movies, notably, the 1961 melodrama Pueblito, directed by Emilio "El Indio" Fernández. Los Alegres de Terán were inducted into the Tejano Conjunto Hall of Fame in 1983, though Abrego passed away five-spot old age later.
