WHAT A THRILL!!! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.....

What a thrill!!! After all these years I came across some of the albums I recorded years ago with "Los Pao" "Trio Los Tajuarines" & "Los Chicanos" I found some albums on iTunes and some with friends that I had lost touch with. It is so gratifying to finally have them for my collection. "Los Pao" was recorded in Mexico City. We had a hit song "La Boa" and we tour all over the Country promoting our music. The members of the group were: Carlos Reyes, Pepe Cervantes, Beto Calderillo & Me (Armando Figueroa) With the "Trio Los Tajuarines" we recorded five albums with Crown Records in Hollywood Ca: "A Night In Mexico" "Saludos Amigos" "Variedad Tempos Musicales" "A Touch Of Mexico" & "Old Mexico" the members were: Luis Rodriguez, Me (Armando Figueroa) & Rafael Rosales. And with "Los Chicanos" we recorded a Latin/American album in Hollywood Ca. The members were: Nelson Velasquez, Robert Rodriguez & Me (Armando Figueroa) On these albums we recorded all types of music like Merengue, Cha Cha Cha, Folk, Romantic, Ranchero and American. It has been a pleasure to have known and played with so many great musicians through out my life and career!!! (NOTE) I've uploaded three songs off of each album on my Videos. Check them out!!

"LOS TRES AMIGOS" LIVE PERFORMANCE AT MGM

I played four months with "Los Tres Amigos" at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada when they had their Grand Reopening at the Santa Fe Lounge. We had a great reaction every night. It was very satisfying communicating directly with the audience. We had a lot of fun and it was the best time we had that year. "Los Tres Amigos" were Pepe Amescua on Guitarron, Me (Armando Figueroa) on Guitar & Ruben Cabañas on violin. We worked together for about four years. "Los Tres Amigos" were only one of many Groups I had or played with. It has been very gratifying to have known and played with so many great musicians through out my life and career!!!
