Career[edit]
The single "Tengo, tengo" was released on February 18, 1996, and appeared later that year on the album Fiesta Macarena.
Because of their considerable success worldwide, their native town of Dos Hermanas has named a new municipal music hall, the Anfiteatro Los del Río, after them.
Another well-known song by Los del Río is "Sevilla tiene un color especial" (Seville has a special color) which is featured prominently in the Spanish movie Ocho apellidos vascos (Spanish Affair).
