It is the only Mexican group that has managed to win 6 Grammy Awards and 12 Latin Grammy Awards, and its music has also crossed borders, conquering the five continents. In addition, they have filmed 40 films alongside the Almada brothers (Mario and Fernando) among other actors. very high trajectory. His style is based on the regional music of Mexico, which is based mainly on instruments such as the electric bass or double bass, the accordion, the basso, the drums, and sometimes other percussion instruments are included. The lyrics in their songs fluctuate between the romantic and the corrido and have given way to a new musical lyrical genre, called narcocorrido, in which they narrate the experiences of members (most of them leaders) of drug trafficking gangs that operate in Mexico. The narcocorrido "Death Foretold" stands out, which they dedicate to the legendary Colombian drug trafficker Pablo Escobar , "The Boss of Bosses", in which they glorify the power and influence of the now imprisoned Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo (later, the now deceased Arturo Beltrán Leyva would adopt the title of the latter as a nickname) and " The Queen of the South " based on the literary novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte from which a series was made based on the work of the Spanish writer.

They have achieved fame in Mexico and the United States, especially in California and Texas due mainly to the large number of Mexicans who live there. They have also found fame in Colombia.
