Los Panchos, also known as Trío Los Panchos, is a highly successful musical trio originally formed in New York City in 1944 by Mexican musicians Alfredo Gil and Chucho Navarro, along with Puerto Rican Hernando Avilés. This trio is renowned for its romantic bolero style, characterized by their harmonious vocals and the distinctive sound of the requinto guitar, a smaller and higher-tuned instrument invented by Gil. Los Panchos quickly gained fame throughout Latin America and beyond, becoming a beloved and influential group in the realm of Latin music.

In their early years, Los Panchos collaborated with Alfredo Antonini's Viva America Orchestra and performed on CBS Radio's La Cadena de las Americas, which helped them gain international recognition. By 1946, they had relocated to Mexico City, where they became a national treasure and continued to expand their global reach through tours and appearances in over 50 films during the Golden Age of Mexican cinema.

The trio's lineup evolved over the years, with notable members such as Julito Rodríguez, Johnny Albino, and Rafael Basurto Lara joining the group. Their collaboration with American vocalist Eydie Gormé in the 1960s resulted in some of their best-selling albums, including "Amor (Great Love Songs In Spanish)."

Los Panchos sold hundreds of millions of records worldwide, with hits like "Besame Mucho," "Sabor a Mí," and "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas" cementing their legacy as one of the greatest musical trios of all time. Despite the passing of its original members, the group remains active under the direction of Chucho Navarro Jr., continuing to perform and influence new generations of artists.
