Mexican vocal group Los Hermanos Carri贸n rose to prominence in the '60s and '70s as one of their nation's first groups to emulate the pop music of the U.S. Performing music akin to that of popular artists like the Everly Brothers, Neil Sedaka, Del Shannon, and Paul Anka, Los Hermanos Carri贸n garnered the attention of the record labels Discos Cisne and Orfe贸n. Brothers Eduardo Federico and Ricardo Sergio Carri贸n recorded a handful of songs for Orfe贸n toward the end of 1960, released the following year. The disc, entitled Show de los Carri贸n, was the first of many the brothers would record for the label. Thanks to the prominence of rock in U.S. and Mexican films, the market was primed for the brothers' music, which became almost instantly popular. Los Hermanos Carri贸n would go on to record more than 20 original albums for the Orfe贸n label, with a handful of projects on other labels like Harmony, Melody, and IM Discos. Specializing in romantic folk-rock ballads, the brothers carved out a deep stylistic niche that they almost completely dominated. Though their recording career petered out in the mid-'80s, the group continued to maintain a busy performance schedule. Touring throughout Mexico, Los Hermanos Carri贸n commanded large audiences in theaters several times a month for better than 40 years after their debut. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, All Music Guide
