El Jefe Y Su Grupo

El Jefe y Su Grupo were an electric guitar and organ-based vocal group from Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. Their sound was a seamless weave of boleros, rancheras, cumbias, and doo wop rock, all delivered through flawless four-part harmony. Founded in early 1974, they issued a dozen studio albums but were best known for 20 singles that charted on border radio in Northern Mexico and in the American Southwest. Among them were covers of "Dimelo di Frente," "La Tumba Sera el Final," "Libro de Recuerdos," and "Nobleza." They recorded for various labels, among them EMI, Luna Music Corporation, and Caiman Distribution. The original band split in 2000, and compilations far outnumber their original releases. A version of the group still continues to tour under the name El Nuevo Jefe y Su Grupo. ~ Thom Jurek
