The Los Pacaminos Story
Los Pacaminos got together in London, in the month of November 1993, as an antidote to the bleak
English winter.
Originally formed as an opportunity to play their shared passion of Border, Tex-Mex and Americana music
that the members of the band love, they started as a practice band, when other musical commitments
allowed. Top musicians just playing for fun! Word got around as word does and soon the band started
playing gigs!
At least one member of this highly respected group will be very familiar. Los Pacaminos is fronted by
one of the UK's finest and best loved vocalists - Paul Young.
However, Paul is not the only luminary in this seven piece band. Some of the best musicians in the
business have teamed up to present an incendiary mix of classics and original material!
Paul says "Los Pacaminos started out just for fun, playing simply for the pleasure of it, and it just took off
from there. What's really nice is that everyone else in the band can sing too, and they do, all in their own
different styles. It's real bar room stuff, foot stompers, not too many slow songs - a real party
atomosphere!"
Tex-Mex music is somewhere between the Mariachi and Norteno styles of Mexico and the Country/Blues
sounds of South-West America. The band empathises with Ry Cooder, Flaco Jimenez, The Texas
Tornados and Los Lobos. Thier set includes songs like 'Wooly Bully', 'La Bamba' and sometimes, if
enough Tequila is flowing, even 'Speedy Gonzales' .
The Band members are some of the best known names in the music industry, from a variety of
backgrounds. They've covered all kinds of music, but the unifying factor is that they all have played in
Paul Young's bands through the 80's and 90's.
Their friendships stretch back 20 to 30 years and it's these long term connections that underpin the very
special atomosphere generated at a Los Pacaminos show. Members of the audience are often invited
onstage to join the guys in a slug of Tequila! You'll be in good company, so put your blues "on cruise" and
come along to the Tex-Mex party!
