Los del Rio
Los del Río (Spanish for those from the river, referring to the Guadalquivir or the Guadaira) is a Spanish music duo (their names are Antonio Romero Monge and Rafael Ruiz). They specialize in Andalusian folk music, specially "sevillanas", the most typical and light music of Andalusia. For a number of years, Los del Río were known for attending private "jet-set" parties at Marbella. However, in the summer of 1996, the duo enjoyed the success of their multi-platinum smash summer hit "Macarena", which sold over 4 million copies in the United States, but also was their one-hit wonder. The song also featured prominently in many other countries and sold extremely well in Australia. Los del Río live in Dos Hermanas (Seville).
