Regional Mexican fans are stunned at the news of the break up of Los Horoscopos De Durango, one of the most consolidated groups in the genre. The group founded by Armando Terrazas had recently celebrated its 35 years of existence. Los Horoscopos de Durango was one of the most important acts in the Duranguense subgenre, which originated in Chicago in the '90s and exploded in popularity in 2002.
Terrazas, leader and owner of the group, retired a couple of years ago leaving the group in the hands of his two daughters, Marisol and Vicky Terrazas. Their biggest hits 'Antes Muerta Que Sencilla' and 'Dos Locos' made the group distinctive, mostly because it is rare to see female vocalists in Regional Mexican music. For many years, tabloids and fans speculated thaf the sisters' did not get along. Many even claimed to see them struggling to stand out and take the lead, something very conflicting considering they were both vocalists. Their record label has confirmed that indeed, the differences between them were too strong for the Grammy winning group to go on.
The news is especially disconcerting because the were in the middle of a tour, which included a performance at the Latin Billboard Awards Ceremony, to be celebrated today in Puerto Rico.
