The Tejano music of the Texas and Mexico borderlands has been transformed into an exciting dance music by Los Palominos. While their repertoire includes polkas, rancheros, boleros, ballads, and cumbias and their instrumentation is based on the traditional sounds of accordion and bajo sexto, the Uvalde, TX-based band has crafted a very modern-sounding music. Formed in 1986 as Los Tremendos Pequenos (Little Giants), Los Palominos features the four Arreola brothers: Johnny on accordion, James on bajo sexto, Jesse on drums, and Jorge on bass. The group's vocal sounds reflect the harmonic interplay of Johnny and James.
