Horóscopos de Durango Their story dates back more than 30 years ago, but it wasn’t until the dawning of the new millennium that a new generation begins for the most solid and popular duranguense group in the regional Mexican genre: Los Horóscopos de Durango. Since then, the group lead by Armando Terrazas senior and his two daughters, Vicky and Marisol Terrazas, have become an icon in the duranguense style. Their mix of

tuba, drums and sax make up their unique style… and the combination of the girls’ privileged voices together with the rest of the group, make Horóscopos de Durango stand out from the rest of the bands in their genre. Winning over the hearts of music lovers everywhere, the dedication, charisma, youth and professionalism of its members have made Horóscopos de Durango a fan favorite.

It is not rare to see sold out stadiums when Horóscopos headlines a concert. They make every stage they set foot on… their stage, winning over every single person that goes to see them perform from coast to coast across the US, and all over México as well. Their musical history and popularity have landed them the keys to their hometown Du-rango, winning the title of distinguished citizens and becoming the pride of the state of scorpions. Los Horóscopos de Durango, have not only made a solid fan base in Morelia, Guadalajara, Nayarit and other states in México, but the group has also bro-ken attendance records in the most distinguished amphitheatres and convention centers in México… and performing with much success at the famous Estadio Azteca and el Palacio de los Deportes.

Chicago has seen the new generation of young musicians grow into icons in their hometown, but the uncondi-tional support of its followers has helped the group to reach higher levels. Their music is played in every sin-gle regional Mexican radio station all over the US. Their countrymen and women spread out all over Califor-nia, Texas, Denver and Atlanta, praise their talents and music. But one of the biggest accomplishments for the group this year was to find out they had consolidated them-selves in towns and cities where regional Mexican music is hardly played because of such small Mexican communities there. As it was in New York, where the Latin community is basically made up of Puertoricans, Colombians, Venezuelans and people from the Dominican Republic. Los Horóscopos de Durango was able to gather and bring together all these different sectors of the Latin community in a magnificent performance without precedent at the prestigious Madison Square Garden. More than eight thousand people showed up to fanatically support the most popular duranguense group of the moment. Definitely something spectacular for a group of its genre. Without a doubt, Horóscopos de Durango is breaking barriers and opening doors for all Mexican music. In the US, Horóscopos de Durango has become a synonym for the new generation of Mexicans and Mexi-can-Americans, who not only love their Mexican heritage, but also live the daily American life. This has estab-lished the group as a unique platform for the exposure and promotion of new and innovative quality products to one of the biggest buying power communities in the United States: the Latin community, that is looking al-ways to mimic their idols, be it drinking, dressing, eating and driving the same as their icons. Since their beginnings, the group has caught the attention of music and entertainment experts, who have praised its talented members and have pointed them out as unique musicians in their genre. So, it is no coin-cidence that Horóscopos de Durango has won the most important awards of the industry for a regional Mexi-can group; like Premios Furia Musical, Premios Lo Nuestro and Premios de la Radio. But, it was without a doubt, their win at Premios Billboard 2005, that established them as the best group in their genre, making history and rising to the level of pop singers like Paulina Rubio and Juanes.

Los Horóscopos de Durango… (cont.) And this year, it should be no different. The group is nominated to various Premios Lo Nuestro and has won their first Latin Grammy as the Best Banda Album. Their latest album titled, Desatados, has given

them worldwide exposure and they will soon begin an extensive tour all over Latin America. As if that was not enough, the new generation of Horóscopos de Durango, finds themselves being honored with several gold and platinum acknowledgements. With eight albums under their belt, Los Horóscopos are without a doubt, the most outstanding group in the Latin music industry.

Throughout the years, Vicky and Marisol Terrazas, have set up a high quality standard for regional Mexican music. Marisol fell in love with this genre when she was just nine years old. Since then, she has dedicated herself to perfecting her talents playing the tambora, keyboards, accordion and saxophone. Vicky, on the other hand, has one of those privileged voices that can interpret any mel-ody from her loved norteñas to the most difficult Mozart piece. As you can see, their talent is more than enough and their confi-dence on stage wins over the most reluctant heart. Not only that, Vicky and Marisol have become role mod-els for the Latin woman of the new generation, who want to be like them.

With that said, Horóscopos de Durango is more than ready for a new conquest, and the constellations have lined themselves up to help them leave a mark in the entertainment industry. Something that’s not hard to accomplish for the Terrazas family. www.LosHoroscoposDeDurango.com
