About Los Aguilares

For over fifity years, Los Aguilares has been playing conjunto music in Texas. Original member Genaro Aguilar is continuing the music after the December 2009 passing of co-founder and brother Emilio Aguilar at the age of 70. Excerpt from the San Antonio Express News, January 12, 2011- The legendary group grew out of Conjunto Guadalupano, a conjunto trio formed at Our Lady of Guadalupe on El Paso Street [San Antonio, Texas] which included Emilio, Genaro and older brother Frank. Emilio played accordion. Frank played a $50 Martin Macias bajo sexto (a rare youth-sized model) and Genaro played stand-up bass. The 11-year-old had to stand on a wooden crate to play his tololoche. They were three of the nine children of Santos and Dolores Aguilar. During the week, the three boys lived at their grandmother Geronima's home to attend school. On weekends, they worked at the family farm near Lytle. Read more: http://www.mysanantonio.com/entertainment/music/article/Los-Aguilares-celebrate-51-years-with-all-star-951196.php#ixzz1S1ckKycE
