Biography
A pioneering force within Mexican cumbia, Los Sepultureros—also billed as Los Sepultureros y Dulce Rosario and Los Tremendos Sepultureros y Mariela—rank among the genre’s most influential ensembles. By integrating electric guitars, synthesizers, organs, drum machines, and additional electronic instruments, the group helped launch the cumbia rock movement during the early 1970s.
Between 1972 and 1990 the band issued its biggest singles, “El Ropavejero,” “Señorita Cumbia,” “Mi Papaito,” “Mi Tablita Huija,” “Baila Mi Cumbia,” and “La Viudita,” yet maintained a devoted following as a live attraction well into the twenty-first century. Landmark recordings encompass Sabor a Cumbia, Morir di Amor, Camino Nueva, plus the compilations 15 Exitos: Historia Musical, Lo Mejor de Lo Sepultureros, and 2016’s 20 Exitos de Coleccion.
