History
The Calentano band Beto y sus Canarios was formed in 1987 in Huetamo, Michoacán, Mexico, in the Tierra Caliente region (Spanish for Hot Land). The musical director Gabino García approached Edilberto Portillo with the proposal at the beginning of that year and the two went to work to audition and recruit members, establishing themselves as musicians who had not been in any kind of musical group before theirs.
It took the ensemble seven months of rehearsal and organization before they began playing for community events and social gatherings. Early recordings generated local hits that became regional hits. Songs like "Mi Ultimo Contrabanda" and "Carga Fina" caught the ear of audiences outside of Mexico, and the group was soon offered opportunities to travel and perform throughout the United States.
Beto y sus Canarios has two songs in Billboard's Top 20 Regional Mexican Songs of All Time, with Está Llorando Mi Corazón and No Puedo Olvidarte ranking #15 and #7 respectively.[5]
Epigmenio Gaytán, who was the keyboardist in for the group, passed away due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[6][7][8]
