About Carlos y José

Carlos y José were a Mexican norteño duo consisting of the lead singer and accordionist Carlos Tierranegra Salazar and the backup singer and bajo sexto player José Rodríguez. Tierranegra and Rodríguez met in 1963 and officially formed the Carlos y José duo in 1968. The duo made their first recording in 1969 and released their first hit, "La cosecha", after signing with the label Discos de Larga Vida in 1970. They released the songs "El chubasco" in 1981 and "Flor de capomo" in 1982, both of which broke sales records for the norteño genre. Carlos y José released more than 80 recordings together from their formation until 2008, when Rodríguez left the group in order to work on a solo musical project. During their career, the duo was among the most popular performers of norteño music.
