Norteño stars Linderos del Norte were founded in 1998 in the town of Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua. The band's original line up included José Ruelas, Edmundo Mendoza, José Luis Gardea and Uriel Nava. The group performed throughout Chihuahua as a quartet. In 2000 they brought musicians Santiago Ocaña and Mario Green into the fold. In June of that same year, tragedy descended upon Los Linderos. An accident claimed the lives of four of it's members (Edmundo Valverde, Uriel Nava, José Luis Gardea and Mario Green). The accident cost the group a great deal of morale and organizational strength, but remaining members chose to push on to achieve their dreams. With a new line up including Santiago Ocaña (lead vocals and bajo sexton), Rubén Sambrano Marrufo (sax and backing vocals), Alejandro Palma Chaparro (accordion and keyboard), Ignacio DÃaz RamÃrez (drums) and José Ruelas Meraz (bass) Los Linderos del Norte went on to record two discs and maintain a busy touring schedule between '02 and '06.
