AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho


Artist:Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho

Song:Del Negociante

Album:Recuerden Mi Estilo


So here's a Mexican band with an unusual history. They were called Ariel Camacho y Los Plebes del Rancho when they started out in 2013. They perform regional Mexican music called sierreno-banda. Camacho was the lead singer and guitarist. After he died in a 2015 car accident, the band continued under the new name Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho. While Camacho was alive, the band released two albums. Then on Feb. 22, 2015, Camacho and two others died when he lost control of his car. He was driving too fast and may have been intoxicated. Camacho was 22 years old. As sometimes happens in the music business, record sales spike post death. But in this case, guitarist Cesar Sanchez made former backup singer Jose Manuel Lopez Castro the new lead singer  and rename the band Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho. They had success with the 2016 album Recuerden Mi Estilo. It even topped the US Latin chart. The album is available as a digital download. DEL Records owner Angel Del Villar was still the album producer and he wrote Del Negociante. The trouble started when DEL and the band both claimed to own the name Los Plebes del Rancho. Sanchez and Castro left DEL and started a new band on their own label. And DEL started a new band of their own. Neither have done well as I think fans are confused by the dispute. And Los Plebes del Rancho have had constant personnel changes. They last recorded in 2019. Here's the video for Del Negociante by Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho.
