Description
Last season, the Brava Theater Center drew over 5,000 people from all over the Bay Area to sixteen sold-out concerts of Trio Los Panchos, the most celebrated trio in the Spanish-speaking world. With exquisite renditions of such classics as Sin Ti, Rayito de Luna, and Contigo Aprendi, their crystalline voices and heartbreaking harmonies, coupled with Gaby Vargas’ masterful requito, create an unforgettably romantic evening for all ages. This May, Trio Los Panchos will perform 4 shows over the Cinco de Mayo weekend.

Formed in 1944 in New York City by Mexican musicians, Jesus “Chucho” Navarro Moreno and Alfredo “El Guero” Gil, and Puerto Rican Hernando Aviles, the original trio took to the stage of the Hispanic Theater, calling themselves, “Trio Los Panchos.” Taking their name from the famous Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa, Trio Los Panchos boasts almost 40 years, 2,500 songs, and over 200 albums, including several recordings with Eydie Gorme in the 1960’s.
