Los Horóscopos de Durango explained
Los Horóscopos de Durango were a regional Mexican band. In their first years, they were a grupero band, but they eventually changed to the duranguense style when the genre was becoming mainstream. They eventually switched to banda. In their last years, their live performances were a mixture of the latter two styles.
The band was started by Armando Terrazas in Chicago in 1975.[1] From 2003 to 2021, it was led by his daughters, Vicky and Marisol Terrazas.
Some of their achievements include:
- Winners of three Billboard Music Awards in 2005:

In 2007, the band appeared on Dominican singer Anaís' album Con Todo Mi Corazón. They performed her hit single "Sólo Mio" with her on the album.
One of the band’s signature songs, "Antes Muertas que Sencillas", was a cover of Spanish singer María Isabel. She used it as her entry into the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004. María Isabel won the contest. She later used it on her first album, named No me Toques las Palmas que me Conozco ("Don't Clap Because I Know Myself", suggesting that once she hears clapping she can't help but to sing and dance).
In November 2021, the Terrazas sisters announced on their social media pages that Los Horóscopos de Durango had broken up on good terms. Vicky was retiring to dedicate herself to raising her recently born son, while Marisol would continue her career as a solo artist. Vicky’s retirement was short-lived because, in March 2022, she also began her solo career.
