Conjunto Primavera is a Mexican norteño-sax band from Ojinaga, Chihuahua. In the 1990s and 2000s they were one of the most popular acts in regional Mexican music.

History

[edit]

Conjunto Primavera was formed on the first day of spring in 1978 by the saxophonist Juan Dominguez.[1] They remained a local act for several years, but starting in 1980, they signed with an indie label, Joey Records, in San Antonio, Texas. It was at Joey Records that Conjunto Primavera would not only record popular covers such as "La Sirenita", "Paloma Querida", and "Noches Eternas", but also subsequent fan favorites such as "Borracho Y Loco", "Cuatro Primaveras", and "10 Kilometros." However, the group was still far from popular. Starting in the mid-80s, Conjunto Primavera would start recording romantic ballads with saxophone and electric keyboard, a style that the norteño group would become known for in the years to come. Another major change took place in 1988 when lead singer Nacho Galindo announced he was leaving the group to become a Christian artist. Soon thereafter, Tony Melendez took the position, at 18 years old, and started to take the group in a new direction. To further their success, Conjunto Primavera signed a new contract with AFG Sigma Records in 1993 and recorded their first major success, Me Nortie; not long thereafter, AFG was bought out by Mexican label Fonovisa. Since their first release on Fonovisa in 1996, the group has released several gold-selling albums and has been nominated for many Latin Grammy awards. In 2008, the group received the Billboard Latin Music Lifetime Achievement Award.[2] In 2014, at the 15th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, they were awarded the Latin Grammy Best Norteño Album award for their album Amor Amor.[3]
