Intocable (Untouchable) is a Tejano/Norteño musical group from Zapata, Texas that was started by friends Ricky Muñoz and René Martínez in the early 1990s.〔Birchmeier, Jason. ("Intocable - Biography" ). ''AllMusic''.com. Retrieved 7 October 2013.〕 In a few years, Intocable rose to the top of the Tejano and Norteño fields with a musical signature that fused Tejano's robust conjunto and Norteño folk rhythms with a pop balladry.〔 Intocable is perhaps the most influential group in Tejano and their tough Tejano/Norteño fusion has become the blueprint for dozens of Tex-Mex groups. The group's style, which combines romantic, hooky melodies, tight instrumentation and vocal harmony, is consistently imitated by other Tejano and Norteño groups, including Imán, Duelo, Costumbre, Solido, Estruendo, Intenso, and Zinzero. Career accomplishments include four consecutive sold-out nights at Mexico City's prestigious Auditorio Nacional and the group's 2003 headlining appearance at Reliant Stadium in Houston, which drew a record 70,104 fans. They also played two sold-out dates at the 10,000-capacity Monterrey Arena in Monterrey, Mexico—an unusual accomplishment given that Norteño groups typically play large dance halls and rarely arenas unless it's an all day festival event. Intocable has also won at least eight of Univision's Premio Lo Nuestro awards. They received their first Grammy win in February 2005 at the 47th Annual Grammys (Grammy Award for Best Mexican/Mexican-American Album; ''Intimamente'') and second at the 53rd annual Grammys for their album ''Classic''. They were the first of their genre to play at Dallas Cowboys Stadium, at the halftime show of the 2011 Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins game. They garnered two of the 5 nominations to the Billboard Regional Mexican Awards and got a nod for Best Norteño Album to the 2011 Latin Grammy for their album ''INTOCABLE 2011''. They were also nominated for a Grammy for the album. ''INTOCABLE 2011'' was released under the group’s own music label Good-i Music and the first two singles, ''Robarte Un Beso'' and ''Prometí'', went to Number 1 on US regional radio charts. The 3rd single ''Arrepientete'' also did very well on radio and their 4th single ''Llueve'' was premiered live onstage at the 2012 Premio lo Nuestro where the group swept with all three categories they were nominated for. In the early 1990s, the band's first indie albums barely sold. In February 1994 their album ''Fuego Eterno'', with new label EMI Latin, had notable sales. The music of Ramón Ayala influenced the direction of the band. The band's lead vocalist and accordion player, Ricky Muñoz has stated that Ayala is his biggest inspiration. In 1997, the band suffered a setback when two members of the band left to form their own group—Johnny Lee Rosas, (bajo sexto and 2nd voice), and Albert Ramirez, (bass), formed Grupo Masizzo. Rosas rejoined the group in 2003 after four successful solo albums. ==Road accident== On January 31, 1999, two group members, Jose Ángel Farias and Silvestre Rodríguez, and road manager José Ángel González were killed in an accident while driving to Monterrey, Mexico due to a flight from General Mariano Escobedo International Airport to Mexico City. The group's van blew a tire, causing the vehicle to roll off Mexican Federal Highway 40 and crash. Ricky Muñoz was the only one in the van due to having his Seat Belt on, with the other members laying on the side of the highway. Muñoz and the remaining members of the group suffered multiple injuries and spent weeks in a Monterrey hospital. After a six-month layoff, Intocable toured successfully behind the comeback album ''Contigo'' (With You), whose first single was entitled "El Amigo Que Se Fue" (The Friend That Has Left), a tribute song to the fallen band Members 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Intocable」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
