Los del Río (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlos ðel ˈri.o], "those from the river"), also known as the Del Rios, are an Andalusian Spanish Latin pop and dance duo formed in 1962 by Antonio Romero Monge (born 17 February 1940) and Rafael Ruiz Perdigones (born 10 November 1938) in the town of Dos Hermanas.[2] They issued their first album, Luces de Sevilla, in 1967. The duo is best known for their hit dance single "Macarena", originally released in 1993. The song went on to become a worldwide success after it was remixed by Bayside Boys in 1995.[2]
