American supergroup
Los Super Seven is an American
supergroup which debuted in 1998. According to Allmusic's
Stephen Thomas Erlewine , "Los Super Seven isn't a band, per se – it's a collective, organized by manager Dan Goodman, who comes up with a concept for each of the group's albums and assembles a band to fit."
[1] The collective has released three albums to date, with wildly varying personnel. Only
Ruben Ramos and
Rick Trevino are featured on all three releases.
The group won a
Grammy Award for
Best Mexican/Mexican-American Album in 1999 for its self-titled album. Their musical style has changed with each incarnation, blending sounds from
Tejano ,
mariachi ,
Cuban ,
Afro-Peruvian ,
Brazilian ,
blues ,
rhythm and blues ,
country ,
jazz and
rock . The personnel included the members of
Texas Tornados ,
Los Lobos ,
Calexico ,
Ozomatli , and others.
