Los Horóscopos de Durango

Fronted by sisters Vicky and Marisol Terrazas, Chicago's los Horóscopos de Durango did for the duranguense style what Jenni Rivera and Yolanda "La Potranquita" Pérez did for Sinaloan banda: They brought a female perspective to what had historically been a male-dominated form of regional Mexican music. Duranguense -- a popular, easily recognizable style that is similar to banda but uses fewer horns, more keyboards, and is more percussive -- is an extremely competitive genre in Mexico and the United States. No matter, the award-winning Los Horóscopos de Durango have always stood out in the crowded field. When a style has been traditionally dominated by males, a band fronted by two outspoken women is bound to stick out, and in the 2000s, los Horóscopos became one of duranguense's best-selling acts. Albums such as 2004's Puras de Rompe y Rasga won multiple Billboard Music Awards. 2008's Desatados took home a Latin Grammy for Banda Album of the Year, and the band won a Lo Nuestro award for Best Artist in 2008. 2010's La Guera y La Morena was celebrated by critics on both sides of the Mexico-U.S. border. 2013's "Nos Acostumbramos" single racked up over 17 million views, while its host album, Las Chicas Malas, charted across Latin America. Los Horóscopos spend most of their time touring across the Americas. In 2016, they collaborated on the single "Diselo Tiu" with Edwin Luna y La Trakalosa de Monterrey. The video propelled the album Vivir en Pecado to gold status.
