    Following 2 recent sold-out runs at Brava Theater in San Francisco and on the heels of a show at the legendary Hollywood Bowl, the world-renowned Mexican bolero trio, Los Panchos will be taking San Jose by storm. The whirlwind Northern California/Central Valley tour, presented by The California Latino Arts Network in association with El Teatro Campesino, consists of four one-night shows in Sacramento, Watsonville, Fresno, and San Jose all over the course of five days. Formed in 1944 in New York City by two Mexican musicians, Jesus "Chucho" Navarro Moreno and Alfredo "El Guero" Gil, and Puerto Rican Hernando Aviles, the original trio took to the stage of the Hispanic Theater, calling themselves, "Trio Los Panchos." Taking their name from the famous Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa, Los Panchos boasted a career of almost 40 years, 2500 songs, and over 200 albums including several recordings with Eydie Gorme in the 1960’s. Carrying on the tradition of the original Los Panchos, the contemporary trio is led by Alfredo Gil’s adopted son, Gaby Vargas Aguilar, and features Taurino Vargas Aguilar (no relation) and Jaime Islas Miranda. The Los Panchos audience cuts across age and cultural lines, and ranges from octogenarians who spent their youth in the romantic backdrop of the original 1940’s Los Panchos to current-day hipsters who have discovered bolero music. Los Panchos made the sound of the bolero familiar to romantics worldwide. Its emotional interpretations of Besame Mucho, Quizas, Quizas, Quizas, and Sin Ti' propelled them into international fame.
