Los Alegres de Terán
Eugenio Ábrego and Tomás Ortiz met in a Nuevo León club in the mid-1940s and released 'Corrido de Pepito' in 1948, a record now credited as a founding document of norteño music. Remembered as the fathers of the modern accordion-and-bajo-sexto norteño duet, they broke the genre out of its regional borders and were inducted into the Tejano Conjunto Hall of Fame.
