Los Super Seven
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.
