Los Panchos are one of the most important musical phenomena in the history of Mexico. Alfredo Gil, Chucho Navarro and Hernando Avilés were part of a trio that emerged within the framework of the New York artistic scene of 1944. In that same decade the group went on an extensive tour, spreading what in the end would be called a “Mexican style” bolero.

Although their initial repertoire also included ranchera songs, huapango and son huasteco, they consolidated bolero as the most popular genre of the time, which to this day continues to be the greatest influence of contemporary composers.

Their passage through each country left a wake that inspired many, imposing the model of romantic trios that invaded the music scene emulating “the most perfect trilogy of America”, an immortal group that left a legacy of approximately 1,122 songs and 33 films.
