About

La Mafia was founded in 1980 in Houston, Tx. Vocalist Oscar De La Rosa & producer/keyboardist/accordionist Armando Lichtenberger Jr. have created an original style that has survived various changes in the music industry. As the 80s faded away and ushered in the '90s,  La Mafia, already with over a dozen Tejano Music Awards under their belt, originated a new Tejano style later to become a Tejano standard. La Mafia combined a pop-style beat to the popular Mexican-style cumbia and achieved success never before seen in the Tejano industry, becoming the first Tejano artist to sell over one million albums with "Estás Tocando Fuego" in 1992. With extensive touring with this new cumbia beat throughout Mexico & Latin America from as early as 1988  (the practice of Mexican-American artists performing in Mexico on a large scale was unheard of before La Mafia) , they eventually opened the doors for such artists as Selena, Emilio Navaira and Grupo Mazz. Electronic instruments and synthesizers increasingly dominated the sound, and Tejano music increasingly appealed to bilingual country and rock fans.
The band consists of Tim Ruiz on bass, David de la Garza on keyboards and background vocals, Joe Gonzales on drums and Viktor Pacheco on Guitar in 2007. The band has won 2 Grammys & 2 Latin Grammys several Premio Lo Nuestro and was most recently nominated in 2009 for a Latin Grammy for the most recent album "Eternamente Romanticos"
Since 1993, La Mafia has recorded each of its hits at its own Urbana Recording Studios, including the million-selling albums "Estas Tocando Fuego" and "Ahora y Siempre". The band has recorded 37 albums and CDs, not including dozens of compilation and greatest hits releases.

    La Mafia

    by blkheart on 5/24/10Alamodome - San Antonio

    It was great, but would have liked to hear the vocals better , I could not hear what they said over the music, and the crowd cheers.Stronger mikes on the vocals.Also , would have like it better if they came back with a Super Dance type thing where we could have dance while the bands played like they did back in the day.

    Best Tejano Concert Ever

    by Laredo75 on 5/24/10Alamodome - San Antonio

    I have attended many concerts in my lifetime. I have been to a lot of Tejano dances. I can honestly say "La Mafia" 30th Anniversary concert is ranked number one in my list. I can't wait for the DVD to come out so I can view and hear it with my wife. She missed a "once in a lifetime concert".

    La Mafia Tejano Music Originals

    by Presley23 on 5/24/10Alamodome - San Antonio

    I was not disappointed at all they played their 80s and 90s music which is really their best music, I started liking Tejano Music because of them and 30 years later they are still the greatest Tejano band. Great show it was worth the money.

    La Mafia was AWESOME

    by Mafia6 on 5/24/10Alamodome - San Antonio

    This was a great concert...I will never forget this event...it was surreal and going back to the 80's and 90's was incredible. I wish that Selena and Emilio would have been among the invitees...That would have been great to see...But we know she was looking down on us and Emilio is still recovery (hope to see him in the Tejano circuit soon)
