[Carlos Ramirez Jr]

My Top 5 legends are Tony De La Rosa, Rueben Naranjo, Rueben Vela,Gilberto Perez and

Amgel Flores.

 

My Up and Coming artists are Lazaro Perez, Gerado Mejia, Los Tremendo Alacranes. If these new groups stay together like some of the legends but there is so much turnover of musicians that its hard to say. Remember Altiro they were great for a shor time
