Los Horóscopos de Durango

Fronted by sisters Vicky and Marisol Terrazas, Los Horóscopos De Durango did for the duranguense style what Jenni Rivera and Yolanda "la Potranquita" Pérez did for Sinaloa-style banda -- they brought a female perspective to what had historically been a very male-dominated form of regional Mexican music. Duranguense -- a popular, easily recognizable style that is similar to Sinaloa-style banda but uses fewer horns and more keyboards and is more percussive -- is extremely competitive in both Mexico and the United States, but Los Horóscopos De Durango have no problem standing out in a very crowded field. When a style has been dominated by males, a band that is fronted by two women with a fondness for micro-miniskirts and cowboy boots is bound to stick out -- and in the 2000s, Los Horóscopos became one of duranguense's best-selling acts.
