+-----------------------------------[Notes]----------------------------------+
| |
| Even as a small child, Ramon Ayala heard the music, a calling that |
| guided his childhood passion despite the financial hardships of his |
| family. Today, as one of Mexico's most popular musicians, Ayala has |
| recorded more than 80 albums and is widely-known as "El Rey del |
| Accordeon" (Accordion's King). |
| |
| As a young man in Monterrey, Ayala dreamed of playing accordion like his |
| father. Although the family was poor, his parents saved enough to buy |
| him his first accordion. This was an older instrument that had to be |
| constantly patched before he could play it. But Ayala learned quickly, |
| conjuring up flashy accordion licks that astonished older musicians. He |
| was soon playing songs house-to-house, earning extra money to help his |
| parents. |
| |
| But the family was unable to remain in Monterrey and migrated north, |
| settling in the town of Reynosa near the U.S. border. Ayala's father |
| crossed the border to work in Texas while the young Ramon remained |
| behind. He worked as a shoeshine boy. Fate intervened in 1960 when the |
| popular band, Carta Blanca, played a Reynosa bar. Ayala approached |
| well-known accordion player Juan Pena and asked to play his instrument. |
| Pena and his fellow musicians were so impressed that offers came quickly |
| to the young Ayala. |
| |
| But it was Carta Blanca's guitarist who would change Ayala's life. The |
| popular Cornelio Reyna, whose 12-string guitar work was well-known |
| throughout northern Mexico, took an immediate liking to Ayala. In 1961, |
| the pair began playing together and formed the band, Los Relampagos del |
| Norte. While playing city-to-city, they shaped a new sound. Theirs is a |
| blend of traditional forms and rock elements popularly known as |
| "northern" music or (in the U.S.) "Tex-Mex." The pair landed a recording |
| contract and released a self-titled debut album in 1961. The LP |
| contained their first hit, the Reyna-penned "Ya No Llores." During their |
| 12 years together, Ayala and Reyna recorded 20 albums and garnered a |
| growing respect throughout Mexico. Hit songs included "Llora, Llora" and |
| "Ingratos Ojos Mios." |
| |
| The pair parted ways in the early 1970s, and Ayala formed his own band, |
| Los Bravos del Norte. He recruited noted Mexican musicians, Tony |
| Sauceda, Jose Martinez, Jose Ivis Is, and Raul Rosales. Later |
| incarnations of the group also included percussionist David Laurie and |
| Ayala's son, Ramon Ayala, Jr. Ayala's solo career spawned dozens of |
| successful albums and a number of reunions with Reyna, to the delight of |
| their fans. |
| |
| Much of Ayala's recorded work became widely available in the 1990s, |
| bringing his virtuoso accordion style to audiences beyond the Mexican |
| border. In 2002, Ram≤n Ayala y Sus Bravos Del Norte, received the Grammy |
| for Best Mexican/Mexican-American Album for En Vivo...El Hombre Y Su |
| Musica. 10 Exitos Imparables was released. |
